How I do it also ;)

I've started dabbling in HDR, and I think the hot air balloon looks good with the redder sky, but most of the others could have just done with a colour saturation boost rather than full on tone mapping and contrasty-ness.

I'm quite interested in this too and would like to see a couple of samples and in use shots ;)

You can ask them to mark it as urgent ;) Doesn't help when they can't figure out what's wrong with it and send it to Japan though!

2nded :)
