This is a decent shot of Vancouver, but the HDR adds some extra pop in the details (mostly the water). This is based on my own special recipe for HDR which is two different renderings from qtpfsgui (a program as ugly as its name..) blended with Overlay over the original. This particular one was made from a single RAW from a Canon G9 - a great camera when I don't want to carry 2 lbs of lens on a trip.
