3-image HDRI, Photomatix Pro, not much other processing except a lot of overlay layers for tweaking relative values (dodge/burn) in subtle ways, and some sky gradient.

I'm always afraid to comment on your photos, because you know so much more about this than I do. And I need to look into how to do gradients for sky...
anyway, I really like the shot. Love the red and love the softness of the boat. Wonderful colors, as well. AP is right - vibrant, but not artificial. It's time you start a mentor series on doing this.
Oh, very nice! I especially like the contrast of the red against the much more natural color palate. Wonderful exposure and really superb composition.. If this isn't Bear_Music's image, you two should hang out sometime!
Though I like the overturned boat and setting, this boathouse isn't interesting enough, imo, to command the attention the photo is giving it, even though the processing/lighting/colors improves it some.
Great image and well processed as well, the colours are really spot on. Also like the thin border as it finishes off the image and gives a prfesssional look to it. A ,little more space to the rigth showing more of the bay would have been great, but that is also my preference for panoramic landscape images.
Bear? This is gorgeous! I have a thing for red sheds anyway. Love the composition and the light is wonderful. Did you shine a light on the shed or is that from HDR? I assume this is HDR because you have detail in the foreground even though it's sunset. But definitely not overdone HDR.
