Wow! Your process has yielded excellent results.

Thanks, Grant. I was surprised since it came out with so little shadow noise, too. Usually tonemapping introduces objectionable artifacts, but this time it looks a clean as a baby's butt. Of course, it also helps that the detail of the stonework and in the leaves is so "busy" that any noise is partly concealed.

Thanks, deevee. I was also surprised at being able to lift the shadows without excessive and telltale HDR look.
