SleepyPanda - how much post (aside from the HDR) did you do to that pic? Because out here in the west, every other building has the same crap interior lighting, blue, yellow, or sodium - but in that cityscape out east - wow, everyone's got a different shade of interior lighting. (I think that's awesome)
If you saturated and toyed with the colors yourself, lie to me, and say "no, out here we have awesome lighting". Because if I took the equivalent picture of Boston, MA - it'll look greyscale next to yours.
Straight to desktop. Both of them, although I like the first more!
Keleko,
That first pic makes me think of H.R. Giger's bio-mechanical artwork for some reason. It's kind of creepy and intriguing at the same time
Must be similar color palate or the intertwined roots.. something. Well done, sir
If anyone is interested Photomatix has opened up the beta for the new version they are working on.

Sorry, I admittedly have not taken the time to read through much, but what does everyone think of hyper-realistic HDR photos?
