Amazing High-Dynamic Range Photo

[Dr.G]

This panoramic image of beachside celebration during Australia Day in Perth is remarkable, not only for its clarity and detail, but for the array of activities going on, from fireworks being launched to a sighting of McNaught's Comet to a raging thunderstorm in the distance. -mercola.com

wow that looks so amazing that it looks fake!

heres an explanation of the pic from flickr:

Explanation: Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month. The image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework.
