The surf was up and the sea was crowded with surfers, this technique smoothed the sea right out and eliminated all people except the static fishermen at the end of the pier.
I had a headache before I read all that, now imagine how my head feels!

Thanks for the explanation though, guess I'll have to do some reading about tone mapping and hdr and all that jazz.

Do you think you could send me the full size version? I'd like to see the fishermen and whatnot up close.
