I think I like the new single frame image even more. I can't believe you can squeeze that much DR out of a single shot like that and not have a ton of noise. Dang...
If (at full size) you feel there is too much noise I think you could drop the shadows back down a smidgen and it would still look great if not even better.
It must have been magical to witness this standing there. Beautiful Ben!

Squeezing for web is one thing and not hard to do, Up to 1 stop is not too bad on image quality, some cameras might get more. The 5DRS-R has enough pixels that a lot of NR can be applied and still have plenty of detail left over when downsized. For web I can get at least 2 stops of push. But I view at print size which is pretty close to 24x36 at 300PPI. I want to preserve the native sharpness at this level. That means almost no NR and about 1 stop max of push.
It is silly to push when you have 3 exposures with one for each zone. For print on DR challaned images I use HDR or blends. Prints on fine art matte always prints darker than what is seen on the monitor so that adds to the problem.
But HDR is frowned on here so I avoid it for web posting. I also have my monitor calibrated for print rather than web so I don't see what others who may have small bright monitors see, even when they may be calibrated. I suspect I need to get a web specific monitor cal and do web stuff from scratch.
