HDR

I thought this challenge went very well. With 58 entries and 2024 votes there were about 35 votes per entry on average.
To me it's interesting to look at how people voted. Opinions on what makes for a good HDR image is varied and I was really interested to see what style came out on top. I personally am a fan of the more subdued style that increases DR in a more natural way.
The top spot switched a few times a day between #1, #2 and #4 with #3 coming on strong in the last 2 days though it never had the lead. I liked a lot more of them then I thought I would and of the top 5 my favorite was #4, more for the comp then the quality of the HDR. I think it might have done better if the shadows could have been pulled a little more to look more like I picture the scene in my mind.
Two entries have been withdrawn as of right now and both are very good examples of HDR in my opinion and one was in my top 5.
Thanks to all of those that entered and voted, it was a enjoyable challenge to host.
