The HDR is well over processed. If you check the top right corner you can make out the halo effect. Dont be discouraged, HDR is tricky and its easy to overdo. Here are my thoughts... back your strength down to about 75%, back down your saturation to about 60-70 back your luminosity down until you lose the halo effect, always keep your radio button for light smoothing to the most right button, set your micro smoothing to around 15 and then lower it until you get your desired effect.

Also, keep your shadow settings and all smoothing settings (other then micro) at 0 when you start out. Once you get everything else set and ready then adjust those. I hardly ever even use theose adjustments.

This should set you at a nice HDR shot that is nominally processed. From there decide what you want as everyones styles are different. If you ever have any HDR questions feel free to contact me.

Just hit default ad move your strength to 100% and light smoothing to the far right and it should be more realistic.

Hi Art, I just wanted to add that your HDR work is improving with every post. You have good subject matter and I like the way the colors interact in this image. With a little tweaking I think this could be very good.
