How does Valpopando do it? (photoshop techniques)

[aphex]

His work - many HDR's

I know how HDR images work and have created a few myself, but what techniques do you think he uses in photoshop to make his images look so amazing? (after the HDR is combined)

I know, its not photo realistic, but I just love the colors...

lots of adjustment layers, lots of masking

I dont know how he manages to keep the water sharp in his HDR pics. You'd think no matter how fast the camera shoots the multiple images, moving water would still cause major ghosting. But even his waves are perfectly sharp. Like this one

you can make an hdr photo with a single raw file.

http://tutorialblog.org/hdr-tutorials-roundup/ - a great set of guides dealing with how to create HDR. Many specifically for when you only have 1 file.
