You did the HDR work with your posted HDR image. As I mentioned, an HDR out of photomatix is not a finshed product. What I did, and what you may want to try, is to load the image resulting from photomatix and process it further- to what you want. I took the photo in your first post and loaded into photoshop, adjusted the levels and curves and dodged the rocks and burned the little swells in the foreground. I tried to match what you said about the sky in the second post being your preference. I'm too lazy to fake an hdr out someone else's image. You did a good job, just needed to be finished.
