Michael...

I downloaded a no expiration trial of Photomatrix awhile ago and it does a nice job
with the only caveat being large Photomatrix logos being placed over the resulting image.

I would guess that it's still available.
It is well worth the download to see if you like it.
I don't know that you've given HDR a try, so if you have lots of time......

I agree with Mandrake... can you give us some feedback on Photomatix?

The first two are very dramatic and, IMO, the best of the lot.
HDR processing can be very difficult and you are off to a good start.
I like it best when the images show the full dynamic range without looking obvious.

Here are some pictures I took at sunset atop Oroville Dam, I bracketed the exposures and used Photomatix to combine them, then finished them in Lightroom. I found it a bit challenging shooting directly into the sun in some of the shots.
