I don't do HDR very often. I am open to critique.

Looks fairly natural for HDR. I like the rich colors.

Nice photo, but it would help to see the zero image to be able to see what HDR did for it.

This photo does not warrant HDR treatment. There's that not that great of varying lighting going on, so any HDR processing is going to look very unnatural and out of place. It's just as important to use the correct photo as it is to process it properly.

I like how the HDR brought out more of the wood texture. Might have been able to do it with other PP methods, but still nice.

I like the photo and the processing. However, based on your 0 Ev, the photo is not an HDR photo. the Dynamic range actually was less in the processed photo than the original. Colors and contrast is more attractive in the process photo tho. So OP, if you like the tools used to create HDR photos to process your photos, then go for it. But just be sure if youre trying to create an HDR photo, make sure the final image has high dynamic range. If not, its just a normal photo.
