Thanks guys.
Todd, the first one was the biggest challenge to process as you might imagine since the DR was extreme shooting directly into the sun. Also this was *one* exposure handheld since I forgot my tripod on this trip! I was really kickin' myself wanting to shot more long exposures, especially at night.
No ND filter was used. Instead I processing two exposures from the single RAW file - one for the sky and the other for the land. I worked both separately in PS using levels primarily with some shadow/highlights then blended together. The hardest part was bringing out the light streaming across the hills without losing contrast as you noticed. I find manually blending the best for this as HDR washes and flattens things out too much.
