It might be my crappy monitor but they all seem like they are way overcooked.

My taste is that HDR should be "felt" and not seen.

Others may not see it that way but I'd only use it in the case of a dynamic range that just cannot be captured any other way.

Love the second and third photos!

Some are a little overcooked for my taste but I do like the more natural look of numbers 4 and 5 and the last 2.

Head over to the HDR 'workshop' in the User Submitted Competitions thread. Some new RAWs should be posted up there this week and you are very welcome to download them and continue honing your HDR skills!  :)
Sometimes I find it really difficult to concentr......  ooooooh! a butterfly!!!!

I'm partial to #'s 2, 3 and 9.
The B&W is actually great!
(I agree a couple are kind of cooked a bit much but they are all still nice shots)
Kudos to you!
Proofread carefully to make sure you didn't anything out.

Nice efforts and good on you for pushing the boat out with hdr!

Third and fourth ones get our votes - although we liked the first one and the black and white one too. The clouds look a bit too "embossed" on some of the images though, but the overall painterly effect is really nice. We're doing some tests ourselves with hdr photography and video here, so we'll post some stuff when we get a chance. But it's great to see what others are doing with this. Keep up the good work!

Not bad...I agree - come over to the HDR Workshops that we do.  I've learned a lot from those!
