I will be careful of this rule in my next entry. Thanks Amit PS: If I read the basic editing rule correctly, even if I had used the ND Grad, it would have been DQ'd? Is this understanding correct?

A filter placed on the camera is fine but the equivalent effect carried out in editing is not.

Nice pic by the way.

Shot at Page, AZ just after a retreating storm. 3 shots using AEB and merged using PS HDR. No time to grab the gradND filter.
Think it still came out well...and talk about timing as I was drenched wet during this shot.

Am I reading your description correctly that you took three separate photographs and merged them in Photoshop to create this single image? This is a gorgeous image, but if that's how you did it, that's not within the rules.
