Rock Formation in Arches National Park

One of my first attempts at HDR. Don't know why the halo around the

rocks. Maybe someone else does?

did you modify this using photoshop? I find that if I push the contrast too much I end up with a halo around objects. I'm still pretty new to this, so I'm not sure if thre is a way to get rid of it easily. Otherwise, great photo. Might look neat closer to black and white, but with just a bit of the colour left in.

interesting. until I read your comment I had assumed you'd added the sky clouds on from another frame. can not help with the hdr query though - sorry.

I used Photomatix to merge the layers. Nine exposures with 1 stop increments.
