So here's a non-HDR take on one that I didn't post here:

I like the sun and some other elements, but I don't like the lack of texture on the sequoia and the lack of color in the sky.

HDR Take 1, 3 exposures, using Photomatix:

The texture is much better, and the sky is more colorful, but I don't like what it does around the leaves.

HDR Take 2: 3 exposures, using Nik HDR Efex 1:

A much different look, and a bit too washed out and overbaked for my taste.

And HDR Take 3: 1 exposure, processed with Nik HDR Efex 1:

I dunno, maybe the best of the lot, but still sorta funky. I'm not sure if it's just that I'm working with bad exposures, or if there's an HDR trick I haven't figured out for this sort of scenery, you know?
