My first impression was that this shot was soft and lacking detail, but looking at it more closely, I see an incredible amount of detail that is just extremely subtle. Even the slight blowout of the sky beyond the forest adds to the feel of this scene.

The harsh light is a little distracting, though the colors are nice so as the perspective. I think the shot could be brighter too, but that was probbably impossible because of the harsh light. The darkness on the trees killed the details, which are a really important things in HDR. Hope you don't get offended by the comment, good luck.

Interesting tree leaves and their color. Like the light shining through, but I wouldn't consider this heavily HRD'd. Like the feeling and texture though. 5/10
