I love the transition between the open sky and fluffy clouds. Your use of HDR processing is done tastefully. Well done.

The best photos are the ones you get if you actually venture out shooting instead of sitting at home

THIS is a phenomenal shot, what a great capture. I tend to "hate" on HDR but you blended it in so well it just looks like a perfect exposure. composition could be a tad better - i'd like to see the rest of the building on the far right. but other than that i love it

Natural looking hdr blending. Nice job.

The Royal Hawaiian Hotel sure looks insignifigant in that shot. Hope you don't mind but here's what that area looked like when I was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1965.

Beautiful capture and well done processing...Quite a change from 1965 to 2012.

im glad you did, This shows the problem that you get in Waikiki, you are shooting into a bay which gives you a curved horizon, Which causes either an ugly really sucky image or you end up with slightly leaning buildings.

this is the original un-edited HDR,

And this is a NEW edit with the most curved building removed and a slightly different crop/ color edit

Your first shot was great as far as the color went - the latest edit looks like the hdr has been overdone with the over-saturated colors. I prefer the more natural looking first one.

I liked the kind of "slope" that the tops of the buildings made because they increased in height toward the right. Otherwise, very nice application of HDR in the original.

If you don't mind, I took the liberty of doing a quick crop/straighten job demonstrating what I'm saying:
