Welcome to the forum. Yes I think that you under did it but not so much the processing but the subject. There is none. If you look at the HDRs here you will notice that they each have a subject. Pick something to try it on.

Yes, it does look a bit under done.

From what I've read, I believe alot of green is quite hard to tame with HDRs... maybe try something with a subject like stated above. I think HDR really brings out stone & wood buildings, and seems to work wonders for anything that is rotting or rusting away.

yeah, i was just bored and decided id take a few shots literally outside of my front door. hopefully get some better scenery for the next attempt, i was hoping the trees would come out better. thanks for the input from both of you.
