I like this shot too. No, it doesn't look realistic at all. But that's OK. This treatment makes it look more like a painting than a photo. While obviously HDR, I think that it seems somewhat muted compared to some of the extreme HDRs out there. I'm sort of surprised by the comments about "glowing colors."
One thing that I could do without is the overhanging branches at the top of the frame as they appear to cover the plane's tail.
