Photomatix 5's Contrast Optimizer in Action

I have quite a few photos processed with Photomatix Pro 5 beta's new algorithms that were pending upload. Today here is one of them - taken in the port in Heraklion it shows some of the boats.

The boats were moving quite a lot due to strong wind and so were the ropes that you can see in foreground. I used automatic deghosting in this case (which now allows selecting base photo and strength of deghosting) and this way I was able to remove all ghosts from the image.
