For a first HDR attempt I'd say you've done pretty well. It's vibrant and quite eyecatching. A couple of comments on technique though. Did you take the 3 shots hand-held or on a tripod .... it's just there's some misregistration between the exposures. The branches could be explained by wind movement, but there's even a slight "echo" running along the top of the fence and the hanging brackets. The other point is that the sky is showing signs of being overly tone-mapped .... there's a blotchiness and uneveness in the tonality. Try to ease up on the strength of tone-mapping or perhaps blend back in one of the original exposures in Photoshop to minimise the extent of the effect.

Nice fence!!!! What about some more of the garden tomorrow?! Trish
I don't know what HDR is so I can't comment.

Good first try Pete I like the colours as pointed out above though you need to be rock solid for this to work properly. People call HDR cheating I think it is a great tool to have in the bag all depends on how you want the image to come out but I try to keep it as natural as I can if someone says great HDR work and I havnt told them then its back to the PC to back the effect of a little. On the other hand you can wack the effect up for a more striking image.
Speak to you soon mate.

brilliant
for a first attempt its brilliant nice lighting
For a first attempt at HDR this is great. Some good comments above regarding the need for a tripod but if you shoot RAW you can always make three (or more) exposures from the original RAW file. Simply reduce the exposure by say 0.7 and save as a seperate RAW and then do the same but increase the exposure by 0.7. Then open these 3 files in Photomatics (assuming you are using it) and process as though it was 3 seperate original files. This way you do not get any misalignment so shooting hand held is OK. My last upload was processed this way although I did use a tripod for the original shot.
Hope this helps.
