Thank you so much!! Im super excited and glad you mentioned those little details about the shot, im a fashion photographer and now im trying some automotive photography... and yes theres an effect similar to hdr going on here, if you know PHOTOSHOP, this is how i did it:

-Duplicate your background layer
-While selected (the new layer) go to FILTER
-Go down the menu to OTHER and within that mini-menu select HIGH PASS
-Set the RADIUS to a value between 4 to 8
-Set the new layer to SOFT LIGHT or OVERLAY

PLAY AROUND with it till you get the look you want!!
