Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

Nice image. Brilliant location. Composition is good, and you've done well with the HDR processing, however, the bottom left (the trees) is still too dark, and the haloing at the top of the rollercoaster on the right is an unfortunate by product of HDR which I'd try to avoid (I know it's easier said than done). Also, the colours in the sky look a tad flat... a result of noise reduction perhaps...

All that said... this is a good shot, and a worthy addition to your profile page.

The green/trees seem a bit darker (maybe it's my monitor). I like the "buried" part of the rollercoster in the woods. Nice also you got the kart on the top.

Almost impossible acute angle to the sun overwhelming the ability of HDR to rescue the detail in the amusement park.

the blue struts are abit to blue. I like the composition. Personally though I'd crop it a bit less high in the hope of getting a bit more detail in the roller coaster bugies. I like the way you've capture the ups and downs in the coaster and the colours are lovely (apart from the blue).

Too much HDR, but I love how the roller coaster is all the same color and pokes out of the trees and leads you back into the image. 6/10

Excellent use of HDR, the composition is maybe not that exciting,
but the colors make up for that.

Fairly sure this is not a multiple exposure HDR, (Set up a tripod in the car and stopped it at the top of the climb?) but the effect works well, regardless of how it was accomplished.
