    Ok ... so the top 3 shots are the 3 bracketed photos and the 4th is the result of the HDR yeh??
    It's a reasonable start. How did you do this? With HDR software? Or manually with PS or Gimp or something?

    You sure as hell don't like to choose easy scenes, subjects to learn on do you??!!

    Yes, the first three shots are my three raw shots and the fourth is the final image. I shot it by setting my AEB to -2,0,+2, and the camera took three consecutive shots. Then I just simply Gimp's HDR software to blend the images and than I adjusted a little on the saturation and brightness.

    Why do you say this is a hard subject? I figured this would be a simple inanimate object with a nice morning sun across it.

    The huge dynamic range you are playing with. The bright sun blowing out some spots and in turn creating very deep blacks. That makes it more difficult than a scene with less dynamic range.
