Hugged by a Sunset

In the spirit of trying to render one scene in a variety of ways I give you another angle at the same pond I've been featuring this week-- and this one unlike the others of the pond I've posted so far is an HDR (3 frames, not pseudo. See below for details.)

For those curious about what I did in post, this one is an HDR composed from 3 files +1 EV apart. I then pasted the final HDR as a layer to the middle exposure I took at an opacity of around 33%. Finally, after denoise and merging down to one layer I created a layer mask over the foreground and ran a high-pass filter sharpening on the sky only followed by more denoise on the sky only and merged down. And here we are. :-)
