Absolutely. The best programs I have used for HDR processing are either Photomatix (which does the compositon from individually metered shots), or there is a Photoshop filter plug-in from Google's NikCollection called "HDR Effex" which works on any picture. Especially with RAW images, there should be enough information to get some good results here and there.

Photomatix was the one i bought . With some photos it works great , with other i got better results with a single RAW and Photoshop

Yeah, it's allways a give and take with photos. I try not to do too much processing, but especially with nature photography, you don't always have a time to set everything up 100%. Particularly when trying to get pictures of birds, squirrels or other fast moving creatures!

I agree, as long as you don't completely alter the nature of the photo (e.g. remove entire elements, unless distracting), I don't see why not. I've also taken several pictures of the same scene before, and then used the median function of Photoshop to create a composite that would remove (for example) the people (since they were in different positions in different photos, they could be removed without losing information). Sometimes taking a photo of an event is fine, that's journalism, but sometimes anything that doesn't belong in a nature photo (incl. people) don't need to be there. Other adaptions like color balance, contrast, brightness etc. are also perfectly fine. I've also adjusted the background bluring before. Sometimes you have to be quick and don't have the time to fine tune all the settings on your camera. I don't see anything wrong with that either.
Besides, if all the professional photographers that take pictures of models and celebrities can brush and post process them to look way better, fitter and younger than they are, I can adjust a few inconsistencies in a photo I took here and there!

I absolutely agree! We all have a vision of how something looks best, or of how we see something, and aiding a little to get there, is no big deal!

Oh it is so very beautiful!! On my laptop screen depending on the angle I look at it, it's either darker or lighter....like a time lapse of the increasing morning light. Love it! Looks a lot like views around my home that I could get, if I wasn't so wimpy about the cold!!
