Tone mapped from a single RAW exposure and exported as TIFF to PS7
Hue/sat and selective color applied, not very strong in either case. Curves for increased midtone contrast. Cloned out sensor dust at top. Resize, USM, border, save for web

Are we going to look back at this as the start of your descent into madness? Nice perspective shot. I'm not sure I'm hip with the tone mapping, but that's just my opinion. Apparently the voter disagrees.
I think this would have been so much better without the extreme, unrealistic post-processing done on it. Just not my style, not that it isn't cool in it's own way.
I think you went too extrem on the HDR, I like the rocks and ocean but the clouds are unrealistic. If you used more than one exposure to make this picture, as is often the case with HDR, its a DQ.
So very cool! The colors are over the top, the processing is insane and the image is incredible (and I usually go for realistic images for high scores) 10
Subject is great, but heavy post-processing was not helpful here IMO - and you still got that sensor-dust spot at the top. It's legal now to remove it!
the bottom half of the image looks really great. the black clouds seem a little exagerrated IMO. also there is this one speck in the sky that looks like sensor dust. even if it weren't i would clone it out...
