NIKON D5300 with NIKON 12-24MM F/4G ED-IF AF-S DX Sample Photo 136300 By walter2

Viveza is compatible with elements 9 thru 13, Mac or Windows.
Try a free trial version. Keep up the great work.

Thank you also, harmondo, for you interesting comment and your "Like". I do not know Efex Viveza, and must investigate this software to see what it can do. But I only have / use Ps Elements (not the big Photoshop CS / CC) so I dont know if it will plug-in to Elements as well? Probably not.
Best regards,
Walter

I have the same view of HDR as you do, but what I do on most non-Bokeh images,
is use the Efex Viveza software Photoshop plug-in slightly, instead of sharpening.
It is like a modest HDR on a single file.

Thank you, Herbert - for your kind comment on this HDR-photo. I don't use HDR so much anymore as the ordinary files get better and better containing lots of dynamics, but this motive just "screamed" for HDR-treatment. Often it's a question of HOW one wants to display a picture (HDR in this case) that determines the style of treatment it gets.
Thank you also for the "Like" as well as thanks to chuckn for his as well!
Best regards,
Walter
