Well here is my entry.
And here are my outtakes.

Did I choose right?
Oh....and I would like to see anyone try and do these same shots with 9 different exposures instead of one exposure!!!!

This is my entry, Which I guess was underprocessed for the HDR theme.
This is the photo I uploaded the second or third day after challenge was announced, Only to replace it with my entry just before voting started.
on a Side Note, Judi if you read this in the next hour or two, If you are not busy and willing to help, I would like you to give me some advice on my next entry. send me a PM and I will link you to the photo and tell you what I need to know.
Nevermind that side note. I have decided to do something different.

Your entry was very good (i voted it an 8) but I like this outtake even better due to the great light on the house and bluff.

Not outtakes, but alternate edits. I was wondering if either of these would have done SLIGHTLY better. I know the subject matter let me down - I treated this purely as an editting challenge as I didn't have time to get a photo I really liked.
My entry
Subtle increase in saturation
High contrast version

ARGHHHHHH!! I always have trouble picking entries, I almost went with this one but thought the horizon was too centered and people wouldn't like that.

Thanks everyone for your (good and not-so-good) comments on this photograph:
Specifically,
@bassbone, @vlado:
Here is another version of the same image, with a little of the oversharpening removed around the lifeguard stand. It's tough to remove all the sharpening artifacts when tone-mapping to that extreme.
@kivgaen:
It was relatively dark that evening. Have you calibrated your monitor? ;-)
@LadyK:
Yours was a unique comment. Everyone that thought it was overprocessed didn't seem to like it. You said it was overprocessed, but liked it! Thanks!
@ineedauniquename:
The title is an abstract title.

Okay, now its over and I can show the ones I should have entered, given enough time.
Entry:
Remastered version:
And the other I considered, then remastered.
Score was okay at 6.04, but I just wondered if the other two would have scored better or whether I entered the right one in the first place:)
added: Entry was using Dynamic Photo HDR programme.
Other two were using HDR Darkroom programme Beta version.

Karen, sometimes centered works just fine. Not a hard and fast rule, and with your lighthouse, centered works quite well. The placement of the lighthouse and the angle of the cliff/foreground seem to balance that center line very well. Gorgeous picture. You'll have TONS to choose from of course, but you could always keep it in mind for "Best of".
Steve, I like your entry better than the other two version. From the thumbs, and then to the full sized versions, the alternates are too "gray" and dull in comparison. You could try brightening those versions up a bit (brightness/contrast, levels) to see if you then prefer that software's output. |

Definitely not. The entry was way better, with a great sense of depth and tastefully done HDR. The other two are way overdone in my opinion, and look very flat and grainy. |

Robert,
I like the canoe/driftwood image the best. It appears to have that heavy-handed HDR feel, but it really doesn't have it.

Probably should have gone with the fake HDR or with the extremely overedited shot instead of a "real" HDR, where the processing made sense :( |

My entry, with which I was quite happy. Three exposures, handheld with the fastest at 1/50th. HDR did bring out the warmth and color of the lighting, though the un-HDR version is OK, too.
I did shoot quite a bit for this challenge - here are some of the others, including a couple where the subject was moving, which is really kinda fun!
