This is a composite image. A single RAW image exposed for the correct light
and then "developed" twice in the RAW converter, once for the dark areas and
once for the light areas. This results in 2 JPG files which are then merged
in Photoshop CS, resulting in an image that is more like what the eye saw.
After this, the image was cropped and perspective distortion corrected.
