HDR? Well done.

HDR by definition, but not in the terms of what most people consider for processing. No tonemapping or 32-bit HDR image created... just exposure blending.

I used PTGui to stitch up the exposures and processed it using the Enfuse feature of blending. Normally I use the Enfuse layer as a 'center point' and then blend in the darker and lighter exposures using selective masking. But in this instance the Enfuse layer was exactly where I wanted it. It's rare that an automated blend hits it spot on, but this time it did.

Enfuse is a free tool if you'd like to play around with it: [link]

That is a very good reflection and the color really looks natural without that overwhelming saturation some people use.

Given my dyslexia, I saw "Gary Cooper Gultch" and thought only of movies. Nice one! :nod:
