| I really like it. I, too am new to HDR, so maybe I'm just not jaded yet. I like HDR for landscapes because it seems to bring the photo closer to what I actually see when I'm there. |

You've done very well here, actually. I have done a little tweaking in CS3, for what it's worth:
1. Made a shadow/highlight adjustment to mute the bright areas a tad and bring out a hint more detail in the industrial structures
2. Selected area lower right and applied a levels adjustment to mute it significantly
3. Made a hue/saturation adjustment layer that amped up the red and yellow a bit, and increased saturation overall about 10%
4. Used the skew tool (in edit>transform) to square up the receding verticals
5. In filters>distort>lens correction, added some vignette to contain & focus the image
6. Added a new, empty layer set to "multiply" mode and filled with white, then drew a gradient from black to transparent down from the top to about halfway, then faded that to burn in the top of the sky a little bit more

| That's very well done - it doesn't look overprocessed at all. As Robert suggested, a little work in PS is probably all that needs doing to it - a little dodge and burn (if permissable!) around the clouds near the horizon, perhaps. |
