I love the setting you have chosen, there is a lot of great color. HDR is a tricky area as people's taste vary so much. This image looks to me to have been processed towards the painterly or artsy look, if that is what you were going for then you are doing a good job. If you were trying to produce a realistic image and by using HDR it enabled you to capture that dynamic range of this scene and process it then I would say you have pushed it too far. I started using HDR a year almost two years ago and no longer use it today but instead choose to hand blend my images. (keep in mind I'm trying to make a realistic image). I love the ability to have total control over the process. Hope that helped.
