The final image is a JPEG... but the three individual exposures it uses to build it are available as RAW files as well.
Thanks! =) I prefer to tweak my HDRs using Photomatix, but you can't beat the simplicity of an in-camera HDR.

It’s a good shot, certainly. “Contest-worthy”? I’m not so sure. The ambience is great: you can’t beat sunshine on water! But having the sun in the picture (twice... in the sky and reflected in the water) creates ‘hotspots’ - and some ugly flare - which take the eye away from the girls. The figures look too far away; by going closer, you might have been able to shoot from a lower angle, so that their heads were above the horizon.
I think you should have another go, and try to get more impact from a very promising situation. Looks like fun anyway... for all concerned...
I love this scene, although it seems a bit underexposed. Where is this though?! I want to drive it
Yes - I agree with everything you said.
My bad in not stating this was taken by a 13 year old & P&S jpeg, not a DSLR/RAW.....still decent capture.....the original post from facebook had more detail, when I saved to jpeg at lower res & added water mark (my niece is Andrea, I'm Mike) some detail/crispness was lost...
I'm still encouraging her to enter it into local photo contest in Grand Haven...for her fun and learning experience.
I'll ask her to email the original jpeg full size and do some basic crop/PP to it for submission.
Part of me likes the bright/brilliant flare, implies the never ending summer days and the brightness of water living
My 13 yr old niece and her friends did this in Grand Haven, MI
Can we all say "whip-hair-back-n-forth"
I told them this shot is contest worthy, what do you guys/gals think?
Kind of hard to tell with those obnoxious water marks.
Princess and a Palace... (Madrid)...
I would like to have seen this composition with her in the middle of grass between the bottom and the statue. It might of been a little more dramatic and I think I would notice her more. Beautiful picture nonetheless.
