Other than the blown out sun, it looks great. You say you made it with 3 exposures? I see that the MA has AEB as an option, did you use that to bracket the exposures and that's what you combined in PS? I haven't tried this yet, but looks like you can get 3 or 5 shots of 0.7EV variation, that would have helped a lot in this case but maybe not quiet enough.
Thx, didn't know that but will play around some more. Wasn't sure why BOTH HDR Shot and AEB Shot appear as options; still learning my way around the new MA. But yes, when I selected HDR Shot (and no other options that I could see) and pressed the shutter button it took one nominal and two EV bracketing exposures. On the SD card, in addition to the usual DCIM/Media folder, it created an HDR folder, with the raw goods from each shot there in a subfolder. Much like happens with pano shots going into a separate Panorama folder. In PS Elements 12 (YMMV), I shift-clicked all 3 images to import the 3 shots, then from the Enhance menu, all the way down at the bottom I selected Photomerge, then from that sub-menu select Photomerge Contrast (the next-to-last option). The rest is done automagically, and afterwards you can still play around with the image if you want. This was with JPGs; haven't (yet) tried it with RAW/DNG.
P.S. here's another one with the sun much less blown out, at the expense of an inky ground. Also, it was dark enuf by that time that even to get the sky (ND 8 or 16 [I forget] filter was still on, in hindsight) I had to bump up the ISO, as you can see from the grain in portions of the sky. Still a decent pic, tho, I think.
