    I like the inclusion of the trees, and the clouds in the sky look great. Can you post the regular exposure as well? Want to compare.

    I think you got the sky pretty good but the foreground(trees) needed more exposure in my opinion. How far apart were your stops?
    Keep Shooting!

    I like it. I like the shadowing in the trees. Good work.

    I think you managed to capture texture in clouds and trees that would not have been there with HDR. Good work.

    Another bright bracket may have helped bring out more natural details in the trees.

    Try turning up light smoothing and luminosity/microcontrast. Digging the clouds though, good texture.
