There's really no blurred movement in the clouds or softness in the water. And from this POV, the small waterfall isn't clear enough to see if it is silky soft. The small ripples in the water tell me the exposure wasn't very long - it could have been handheld.

Unfortunately, just titling a photo HDR doesn't necessarily mean it was taken on a tripod. Some of the newer cameras now are able to reproduce a very wide DR. Couple this with tone-mapping software and you can get results such as yours. If you had found a part of this stream that had water movement and set up a long exposure focusing on that, then it would have been more obvious.

With the silhouetted foreground, it appears that your camera exposed for the sky. Would have been nice to see more blurred movement in the clouds.

Looks like a former bridge or pier. The water is unrecognizable. Very cool.

Very nice water softness and sharp details in the background. Can't do this handheld!

Nice smooth water with sharp objects all around. No mistaking tripod usage here.

If it was a very fast moving train, it would be quite possible to get this handheld. Maybe a little longer exposure time showing the lights streaking further down the track.

If it was very windy, this could have been done handheld with a slow-ish exposure time.(1/2 sec?)

The excessively blown out street lamps and the faint ghosting of a couple walking on the right shows this wasn't done handheld.

Nice sharp objects and buildings. Silky smooth water. Mission accomplished
