The greens look a little too saturated. What was your EXIF information for this shot? I would have also tried a vertical orientation as well. I'm not sure if it would have turned out better but it may have helped to have a more dominating foreground that leads into the house at the background. This looks like a very pretty place where is it? Is there a story behind it?

thanks for the advice.
I tried vertical, but lose vision of stagnation in the water -
Green is saturated, you're right.
this is the old watermill in Serbia, this looks fresher.
first true HDR,
I am not a supporter of technology, more like raw photo, but this is a playing with technocolor ..
thanks.

was a hdr necessary in this situation? im not a professional HDRist or anything but it just looks like you couldve maybe saved yourself some work and just done maybe some slight editing on a single shot, it would be great if you could post the pictures you used to make up this HDR

I think if you cropped out the sky bits it would also have kept the interest in frame. As others have said I also would have toned down the saturation.
