I can't really see it, this laptop isn't calibrated (poor excuse as the calibrator is in the car)
fair enough, there is quite a big difference on my monitor.
which is better .....

I post nearly every day and only around 55 HDR's this year. Clearly you're not watching me close enough. Seriously dude, if you're going to jump into a thread with randomly stupid nonsense about how I've single handedly blown HDR out of all proportion and I milk it then you better know wtf you're on about. You don't know the technical side, you don't even know what I do and you sure as hell don't know HDR.

Well firstly this isn't exactly a perfect condition for the requirement of HDR. These shots come out perfectly ok using a good set up with maybe a grad filter if needed. Really isn't. higher aperture will numb the powerful light sources from the buildings.
Should really get these shots done well enough without HDR before going into HDR otherwise you'll fall victim to it and be highly dependant on it.
Heres a processed version of your shot.

Whats the point in HDR if you aren't adding anything to the shot by using it?
you need to read the thread again, there not supposed to all be HDR.
None.

If the water was slightly darker, best version. Noise Reduction/darker water = win.
Rest have turned too cartoony, especially yantorsen's.
Guess as it's Christmas he's allowed to edit it like that, looks like a street full of Christmas lights

Yes I realise this. As I said, they're just heavily post processed, none of the images are showing HDR, just increased contrast and saturation.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that (all the pictures I've posted up here are like this, I'm just saying it isn't HDR)
none of them were supposed to be HDR what are you on about? There not even that heavily processed really.
