are you shooting in RAW?
here's was my first attempt at HDR, this is a 7 image HDR.

All I could see was that it was similiar to Jpeg and RAW format took more memory.
Based on your sample though I may have to look into it again

Damn using a DSLR is hard enough, but you guys using photo enhance programs to make the pictures even better are insane! Looks good
Thank you! I'm actually still learning myself. I need to work on my composition more cause I keep taking pictures with cluttered backgrounds

If you shoot RAW, you likely don't even need multiple exposures. I sometimes process my RAW with the linear setting in DPP and combine it with the regularly processed image. For example:
This single exposure was taken on the Isle of Capri.
RAW image processed normally. Notice the blown highlights in the surf and the washed-out skies:

RAW image processed as linear data. Notice the highlight areas now have usable detail:

Combined image (also using Photomatix) from the two processed images:

It's quick and dirty, there are some things I'd clean up and tweak in the image, but you get the idea.
