Philip is this part of Lightroom or a filter?
It is done within Lightroom - cranking up Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks and Clarity with a play in HSR with saturation and Luminence with some sharpening. It was from a video tutorial.
If you are interested, Photomatix is available as a plugin for Lightroom.
you can do HDR lightroom.. but I also use photoshop just to be safe.
