Just so that I know how to respond are you going for the artistic HDR or a natural looking HDR. This photo kind of falls in the middle for me. Also how many photos did you use for the HDR

[nakiboi]

umm had not really thought about the two options.
I used 5 shots.
The sky seems not very blue to me.

I think that this is important is knowing what do you want to accomplish in any photo that you process. What do you want the end product to look like

[nakiboi]

Iguess better than the original it seems very blah and flat. No colour.
I guess the artistic with this for me would have the greatest impact.

I think that the original photo can be worked on and cleaned up just fine if what you want to do is spice it up to make a nice photo.

Thanks for the feedback, I thought that the overall effect was quite good. Do you have any critique about the subject being HDR?

I like it, I would add more contrast tho or maybe black, the photo needs the "pop" look
