This was shot at Old Silver Beach in Cape Cod, MA.
I tried about 20 shots at different ISO, Aperture and Exposure settings but I was not happy with any of the results.
Luckily I was shooting RAW which I don't do very often because I usually can't afford spending much time editing/converting photos.
So I opened the RAW image in Photoshop CS3 and I discovered the magic, who needs HDR anymore!
Here is the cropped original:

Yeah congrats on 13th place and the high score but I think this image would have been even better if the original was less-exposed, and so (what i'm assuming) when you recovered the highlights it didn't give you those strange grays and unnatural colors. But again, what do i know, the people liked it! Still obviously a beautiful shot
This is a very nice photo, but I almost like the original better. The PP is extremely heavy handed on this one. While that sometimes gives a surreal or dreamlike quality to an image, this one just looks overprocessed. IMHO of course..
Another cartoonish looking shot that is very cool but kinda overdone lately. It doesn't look real to me and it's more about the beach then the sunset/rise.
