Hi Paul, the image was first processed as pseudo HDR in Photomatix 4.1 (same original adjusted to 3 different exposures), then the processed image was combined with an original jpeg that had been processed normally. The process of combining them was done in 3 stages via a new layer for each stage with the blending options for the new layers set to different settings each time, the idea being that I wanted to accentuate certain aspects of the image whilst leaving others unchanged. Finally, it was de-saturated and the levels / contrast adjusted. I might post the colour version too so you can see both final results.

Sorry for the long explanation!

Cheers
David
