Picnic Point HDR Image

This is my first attempt at making an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. Which where you combine 2 images (with the same subject) with 2 different exposure settings. This can be accomplished in Adobe Photoshop by first layering two images and then creating a layer mask. Then you choose the eraser tool and remove the over/under exposed portion of the image revealing the underlying layer. This image was also then touched up with the burn/dodge tool.
