Keep pushing the buttons until the dirt disappears. You do pull it into Photoshop after the HDR processing don't you?

The sky doesn't bother me though. I think it's a gorgeous winter scene. Love the tree.

Oh yeah....this one's been through a few dodge & burn sessions in Photoshop besides smudging of dirty sky areas. Just thought there might be a quick "remove dirty bits" filter somewhere....

Me gusta mucho Miguel. Pero ya conoces mi "debilidad" por este tipo de escenas. Has tirado de hiperfocal?...Te ha quedado muy bien enfocada toda la escena!.
Lo que yo hago, en Lightroom, tras procesar el HDR con el botoncito de NR activado, es reducir al maximo los niveles de ruido de luminancia y color. Funciona bastante bien.
También puedes probar a trabajar sobre el enfoque. Quizá un poco de dessenfoque selectivo en el cielo pueda disminuir esos niveles de "ruido"....
