Okay, so, yeah, I like Topaz Star Effects, but I don't need it to create crazy sun bursts. SOOC - f/22.
(also, no HDR and no fisheye!)

Instead of doing my usual +/-2EV autobracket, I went a little wild and crazy with this HDR. I actually used a tripod and metered (using Tiny Meter for android) to determine the brightest and darkest points for coverage and divided it out into 1 stop intervals. So this is 5 exposures from 1/80 to 1/1250

I thought that I might give HDR Efex Pro a chance on this one, but it blew, big time. The branches were waving all over the place and it couldn't handle it, but Photomatix smoothed it almost perfectly. Unreal.
Finished with Nik Viveza.
