This version is a simple five exposure average, performed in the Bartch – Average mode of Photomatix, with adjustment in Lightroom. The unevenness in the sky enhanced by the tone mapping process is gone. The color and contrast are much better.

clear and perfect !!!!
Never used 'batch … average" before, thanks for the tip, will have to explore that further. Nice result!
The coolest thing about Batch – Average mode +Frank Leers is that it's one of the features which works unrestricted and without watermarks when using the free trial of Photomatix, so anyone can use it indefinitely before deciding that they might want to branch out and (buy the license to) use other modes!
Looks a touch more like planet Earth. 🙂 Thanks for the quick HDR lesson!
That is very nice, as was the other which I will have to find to compare…unless, of course you would post all three together for the quick compare. At any rate, thanks for the BA tip as I need to upgrade perhaps from PM v3 to v4.
Click on my name +R. Brooke Fox and that should take you to my stream, where you can scroll down from one to the other. To see them side by side, try this album link, which I'll add to the description above:
