I suspected that it was HDR done well. Congratulations, it looks excellent. I'm not sure how HDR work down in the nuts and bolts, but it would be interesting to see if the individual frames are sharp, and it's the combination that is a little bit soft. I was also wondering about lightroom lens correction doing something with the perspective. I've noticed that it sometimes seems to soften the image a bit as well. > > I took several test shots at different focal lengths, focusing in > different places.

By the time you're done, the end result will be the combination of 105 separate exposures. That way leads madness. Did I mention that it is a lovely image?
