I took these shots about 6 months ago, and never got round to merging them into HDR. I tried it in photoshop however they looked flat and boring and i just couldnt work it out. But thanks to the sticky at the top of this thread (Cheers POTN) I merged this photo in the trial pro version of Photomatix.
Feedback and any words of advice would be great

Amazing is the word...I think a little contrast boosting in Photoshop will further enhance the image...

suggestion: As you are happy with the output, go and get the latest version of PM.

Thanks for sharing

Very nicely done. Do remember that an initial HDR almost always benefits from some additional post processing, particularly to boost the contrast and often to darken the blacks.

A quick curves adjustment of your shot produces this:
