Yellow Scroll Coral in HDR

I've been fooling around with HDR photography. Discussion about HDR in SDReef's Photography forum got me curious. HDR requires at least 3 pictures taken with normal, under and over exposure settings. On the Canon Rebel XTi, this can be accomplished with the Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) function. I've set my camera at ISO 100, manual focus and Av mode for this test. Tripod and remote control are also used.

The demo software that I tried out is PhotoMatix Pro 3. It certainly applies a new level of dynamic color to the picture. The sample pics below are normal, under, over exposure and the combined HDR image.
