Color correction recently added to pfstmo_mantiuk08 often washes out bright spots on photos (like sun).
Example:
http://blacksir.googlepages.com/HDR-101-1570a.EXR - source EXR file
http://blacksir.googlepages.com/HDR-101-1570a-old.JPG - old (CVS from 21.09.2009) mantiuk08 output (OK)
http://blacksir.googlepages.com/HDR-101-1570a-new.JPG - new (CVS from 19.04.2009) mantiuk08 output (sun washed out)
Thanks for reporting this problem and attaching images. The colors are totally wrong with color correction, but there are also oversaturated in the previous version. I will take a closer look at the problem once I am less busy.
I think I used -c 0.5 option with old version.
