Not Bad,,,
Anonymous File :-(, x)
Let me say first that I am NOT the world's foremost expert on HDR, but I do have some experience with it, and photography in general.
HDR does not mean "Kill the shadows/highlights until it looks fake". HDR is great because it allows you to show the details/colors hidden within the brightest and darkest areas while maintaining a wide range of values... a glance at the thumbnail shows that you have destroyed the balance of light and dark in favor of a rather 'blah' middle value.
If I had your source HDR image I would have kept the range a bit more dynamic. This isn't quite right, because I don't have the HDR, but something like this is, IMNVHO, somewhat easier on the eyes.
HDR#3-8 is quite nicely done.
