In order to get all of the different images for my HDR final image, I pulled the first three photos that I took and used the Enhance feature and auto adjusted one of the levels for each of the three (3) images. For the first photo, I used "Auto Color Correction," on the second one I used "Auto Contrast" and for the third one "Auto Smart Fix" was applied to it.
Description: This is the HDR Mid setting for the first of three (3) sets of photos used for the Rough Draft of my self-portrait.

Description: I chose this as the final version of my "Self Portrait" because I found it interesting that when running it through Photomatix Pro, some of the presets picked up my reflection in the lens. I think it looks pretty cool. A couple of things I did was flip the image horizontally and crop it. I felt that the fact that since the word 'Canon' was not picked up in my original image, cropping the sides of my picture would render a tighter and more efficient self-portrait.
