Let me first say that I did not take this photo. This image was provided by Brian Koprowski (Brian Flickr) as part of an experiment to see how people would edit the same 3 RAW files differently. You can read more about the experiment here: OutofChicago.
Good idea, Brian!
Anyway here is my submission.
This was my workflow:
Three RAW images were imported into lightroom. I immediately made a virtual copy of each image and did my best to split them so that there were shorter exposure intervals between each shot. I edited each shot so that it had similar contrast and clarity.
Next I bumped the purples and the reds in each of the middle three images. I think my favorite part of his picture was the subtle colors in the buildings and the shoreline.
After that it was off to HDR Efx with all six images. I used a homemade preset to edit this into HDR.
When that was complete I ran it through "define" to reduce some noise and then did some slight distortion clean up in Lightroom.

Nice job, Brian - I like this image.
