Bert,

I much prefer this one to the other 2 HDR images, but am still not sure if I actually prefer the original ("normal way"). To be honest, I've found the other 2 look almost un-natural due to the lack of star brightness and hiding of the fainter background dust clouds running through the Milky Way.

I think this is more balanced in that respect. The original non-HDR does still show more background dust though, and I think has slightly better colour balance than this one where everything is slightly red.

I do like that the central core isn't burnt out, and those very bright stars aren't burnt out. But I also like seeing all those millions of surrounding stars showing up nicely, and those typical threads of dust running through the Milky Way.

My 2 c worth.

Roger.
