Thanks folks, it was a fun contest.
In the other thread about the contest someone suggested that they would like to see the "before" shot(s) that were used to make the final HDR image. As a reponse to that request I have posted a composite of the five images below.
My photo of "Sunrise on Haleakala", on the island of Maui, Hawaii was a five image sequence that I ran through the trial version of Photomatix. The composite sequence runs from left to right and top to bottom -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
I had a bit of trouble with the shrub in the right foreground as it was quite windy. I let Photomatix attempt to reduce the ghosting artifacts and it did reduce them somewhat.
