When is an HDR shot not an HDR shot? When the photographer was too lazy to carry a tripod and neglected to take multiple exposures. I think this shot could really have benefited from HDR treatment to bring out both the shadow and illuminated areas ... but I failed to take multiple exposures of the scene. So I did what I could manually: selecting, brightening and manipulating different parts of this SHQ.jpg image by hand. Hope you like the result.
