    It looks overexposed to me. The lighter edges of the leaves are blown. Interesting looking leaves though.

    Personally I think one big problem for HDR attempts is the lack of subject.

    my experience is that the problem with HDR is if you have very little or any movement of subject at all you get that oof (out of focus) effect. I've found stationary objects are much better for HDR rather than plants, trees, flowers or even clouds or water.

    I appreciate all the comments I have received! This picture is merely a base attempt. I have wanted to try HDR since I first got my camera about a month and a half ago and I realize that this isn't the greatest of shots I just wanted to get out there and find something and then see what I should approve upon and only get better from this point. I realized that it was a tad over exposed but I will learn from that. Also I did you a tripod, but as stated before if there is any type of movement at all it makes it look out of focus in the end. So thanks for all the feedback!

    It might be useful to see a comparative "normal" shot of the same subject. Perhaps the 'middle' shot of your grouping that you used for the HDR? Because frankly, my first question was "what's so HDR about it?"
