Sunset at Cleawox photomatix

My mentoring group has a challenge this month with "natural" HDR. I am uploading three different edits of this lovely sunset that we had last night just for comparison. This one was three bracketted images processed in photomatix using exposure fusion and then finished off in LR. I'll be curious to see which of the three you like the best.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs and for taking my little pigeon guillemot shot to the PP yesterday.

This is the one I prefer Jane as there is more detail in the sky. If you use the shadows slider in LR do you get a bit more detail in the dark area? I watched Taffy's video last night and was amazed at what he did with a couple of his images. It seems a delicate touch is needed. I still have to work out exactly how to do it!! I love the colours of the sunset and the sky reflected in the water. Fav!

@pamknowler I did get more detail but it began looking unreal to my eye so I backed off. It is a bit darker on 365 though

@jgpittenger I often find my image looks ok on my laptop but when I upload to 365 it is much darker - very annoying!! This image for me looks very natural Jane.

Gorgeous shot, Jane. Interesting to see the subtle differences between the three edits. I like this one and the LR only edit the best. Not sure if I can choose between the two.
