There's a great image here under all that sharpening! Hurts my eyes!

Well done Mark! I stand by my earlier comments. This should have ribbonned. Not that the entries above you were poor, just that they photographed already appealing subjects - the HDR is just a bit of gloss on top. Yours, as I said, is something far more interesting. I look forward to seeing your other HDR work!

If I was to be brutally frank, I'd say there is nothing in this picture that suggests HDR was used at all. It's flat, dull and pointless. It looks like it was taken on a camera phone through a dirty window.
Luckily I'm not being frank, but I will say perhaps you didn't follow the HDR proceedure properly? Try looking for more dramatic skies or areas with greater dynamic range - after all that's what HDR is all about!

This is one of the few images submitted that IMHO actually makes use of HDR to achieve something, an atmosphere that would not be there in standard photography. Anyone can photgraph an amazing building or wonderous landscape and make it look nice, but you've done something far more difficult - by turning a most mundane subject into an ethereal journey. You are eally painting with light here and I love it! Sorry I can't vote as I'm not a paid up member, but I would have given this a 10.

Are you allowed to flip the image in basic editing? - Or did you uses another clever method to get CASINO the right way around?

I really like this one, but the processing on the face is a bit OTT - or was it just a little hot?

I know they don't really like cat photos here but I think this is great! Almost looks like an owl!l!

A little too much brightness in the eye? looks a bit "painted on" to me. I would have like to see a little more of the face, maybe to the nose? Great concept and lighting!

A litte more blue into the whites of those teeth might have helped here?, they look a bit yellow on my monitor.
