Thanks everyone for kind words and the votes. It figures, the one time I forget to put my processing steps in the comment section and I ribbon. Here are the steps I used.
1. Convert from raw using Raw Shooters Essentials
Exposure Comp [+1.23]
Highlight Contrast [22]
2. Post process with Paint Shop Pro X
One step noise reduction
Clarify [+20]
USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3]
USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3]
Levels [input 0-.94-255 / output 0-241]
Curve - slight S curve to set black point
Resize
USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3]
USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3]
The HDR effect came from the very strong clarify action. On most images, using clarify over a strength of 7 or 8 will provide nasty over processing artifacts. The max setting of 20 seemed to work well for this image.

| beautiful wood in a staircase that, imo, captures the spirit of the challenge. i like the way it's cropped. it's interesting to look at and nothing leads the viewer's eyes away from it. /10 |
