HDR...My next Mission To learn

If you think this is an HDR, you are wrong. Since I'm still struggling to get the "key" to Photomatix, did this shot and made many hard repetitive adjusment from CS3 and Adobe Bridge Camera Raw-from exposure, shadow/highlight, Clarity, Saturation, Vibrance, recovery...etc and well somehow ended up like an HDR. And I'm still waiting for Jimi (aka JimmyJohari) HDR mini tutorial.
