Very nice. I have not tried HDR yet, but when I do, I hope it is as nice as this.

Thanks,
I used a free plugin, NIK Color Efex Pro2, to merge to HDR three images taken at 3 levels of brightness. Very easy to use, and I like these initial results.

Well done, they don't look plastic like so many of the HDR shots I've seen recently.

Very nice. Rather than using Color Efex, you should go directly to HDR Efex Pro. It's in the same package, so you should have it. Also, there's no need to pre-convert to jpg; the software will accept RAW files, TIFF files, or JPG. You're on the right track, not overly processed, and you'll find that you get a lot out of shots that you hold back on.
