Default Sequoia _ HDR

This is a picture of Wucksachi Lodge in Sequoia National Park.

I took three handheld shots of the lodge that we were staying at attmepting some HDR that i've been playing around with. I processed them in Photomatix then adjusted the colors slightly. Because the camera was handheld and there was a bit of a breeze the is some bluriness in the trees. I tried not to go too extreme on the HDR.

I like the composition but part of me thinks I should crop?

I like it. Not overly done, like most HDR that I've seen.

Wow you did real well with this especially for hand held. You can really see more detail in the cabin.

Thank for the nice replys. I tried to keep this one natural. I have gone extreme on other ones that will look good. But this one worked great keeping it as natural as possible.
