Photomatix Pro

Same photo, but one was processed with Photomatix Pro HDR software. This is a very minor example of the kinds of effects you can get with the software. To get better results, it would help if I would have taken multiple exposures to get a true HDR image. It would also help if I would have used a lower ISO setting. The fact that I had no clue what I was doing didn't help much either. The processed one probably has the sharpening dialed up too high, but oh well.
