This shot was taken on a day's hike through the really pretty countryside outside Sa Pa, Vietnam, up in the extreme north of the country, by the Chinese border.
This lady is a member of a hill tribe. She was selling homemade trinkets, like the one she's holding, at a pretty little spot where we stopped for water and a rest. The HDR is from a single photo, re-exposed and then combined and tonemapped in Photomatix, and, obviously, further processed in Photoshop.
