step 5 of 6

Used many layer adjustments and masking on sky, sea and the lighthouse. Reached at this image. Then I didctrl+Alt+Shift+E to merge all into single layer on top. Gave that layer an exposure adjustment of -2. Saved it. Then again gave an exposure of +2 and saved it. Finally I opened the 3 images in bridge, selected all 3 and selected photoshop HDR. Then tweaked the settings a bit.

Thanks for viewing sbs. I was eager to do one HDR. what better platform than this. Best eyes will be reviewing it. Waiting for you comment.

Hope I didn't go too far with the HDR thing.
