I think there was simply too much movement going on in the scene (wave movement especially) for any of the HDR programs to handle the alignment of images properly.
Oftentimes local editing can generate superior results than HDR. The better your skills are with layer manipulation and the various local selection and brush tools, the less you will feel the need to use HDR software to achieve the final image you want.
Not too much movement in the scene unless the waves are moving the bridge and gard railings
