Comes off very soft and grainy, I'm afraid. At 123k, you also had a lot more overhead on the file size. Thought I see no obvious artifacts, using less compression might have helped squeeze a little more clarity out of this scene. (Don't worry about it. I'm a bit anal when it comes to compression.) I do like the way you caught the reflection of the orange colors on the water.

I shall be rating this challenge by the following criteria:

1 - Not HDR in my opinion

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion

Your photo receives:

5 - although on a technical aspect in any other challenge, this would have received a 3 or 4 from me. Just for the record.
