I'm not a huge fan of HDR images as I believe they can, and often are, overdone. However, in some cases, the intersection of art and image combine in a synergy of light and color that is very appealing. This is one of those circumstances. Well done. Not sure where this will place, but it deserves a top five finish. I don't think it will appeal to enough voters to win, but it should place very high.
I like the composition of this, the water leads you eye in and that's very well done. I do find the processing (or possibly filters used) makes it feel like it has an almost cartoon feel to it which I am not so fond of. It is a personal preference but it feels less like a photograph and more like a digital illustration.
The colors are all unnatural, and i am sorry but they are not visually pleasing. I do like the composition and the choice of scene to capture. The excessive post processing, and it's less than desirable outcome, however pulls the score down hard for this.
This looks less like an actual photograph due to the over processing, I would have liked to had seen it a little less processed and a little more realistic. However, that being said... it's still an awesome photo and great processing work.
