Nature: water lily

water lily, originally uploaded by madcrow.

From the photographer: "I don't know if everybody knows this already but I discovered it just now by myself how to produce a hdr from a single jpeg: I created two other images by editing the pic with -50% contrast and +30% and -50% brightness in this case and processed the three images with Photomatix as usual. Well, the single picture was simply overexposed in the white areas of the lily due to the high contrast ratio, so I think this is a suitable method to eliminate this problem.
