What do you think? Where can I improve?

It's 1-2 stops underexposed, and it doesn't look like an HDR at all. Here's a brightened version, i've blown the sunset a little but that's the point of HDR - keep the detail in the highlights and bring up the shadows (or vice versa).

Thanks for the advice. The brighter version looks great!
