The Dog and the man - a photo on Flickriver

In line with the previous shot, I was still in the mood to capture some warm Autumn-ish shots..A man was waiting for someone with his dog, with the warm afternoon sun on him. It looked really peaceful!

Shot details:
3 hand held subsequent shots using: Canon 7D; Canon 24-105mm f/4L

Post processing: For this shot, I've been experimenting a little with post processing. Until now, I've only been sticking to using Lightroom-Photomatix-Lightroom. For this one, I wanted to go all out and decided to try out a host of other software and clearly it makes a difference! For example, I recently discovered that Photomatix appears to be handling night shots better than HDR Efex whereas the opposite seems to be true for day light shots.
So for this one, I've essentially done the following:
1. Lightroom for initial fixups,
2. Merged in HDR Efex
3. Post processed (colors, sharpness and so forth) in Nik Color Efex
4. Finally did a little more processing (vignetting and temp and so forth again in Lightroom)
5. And a (heavily edited) "presto!" :)
