Default Architecural HDR

I was at the local university I attended while upgrading my teaching certification. I had previously videotaped areas of this building with the intention of using the video in my final demonstration of learning. I always thought it would have been great taking still of the areas. Well, I went back to the building today as I was already in the area (I was setting my classroom up), and decided to shoot some HDR's. In this one I decided to use only 2 of the exposures as the blown out shot was really blown out! What do you think of the exposure and HDR rendition?

ISO 100/ 46mm/ f16/ 1/3sec and 1/13sec

I think the HDR looks good, what I would do is crop from the top down removing some of the building, I like the roof but the rest of the building does not really add anything to the image

I would see what you can do next time on keeping the halo in the upper center part of the image to a minimal. I would also have moved the tripod right over the to edge of the overhand to try and reduce the railing as much as possible then crop out any that remains. The black railing is a distraction here and does not help the eye wander around the image.

Looks like an interesting building do you have any shots from the outside?
