Purgatorie Convection

This is an odd one processing-wise. It's probably 90% a blend (not hdr) of two exposures: one for the sky and one for the foreground. These were blended as layers on top of two different HDR attempts of this same scene. I didn't like either hdr at 100%, but by blending them in at a very low percentage they add a bit of drama to this scene.
