Sunset on railroad tracks

This was one of my first HDR attempts a while ago. Is it over-processed? I like it but realize it might look a bit off.

There is an HDR forum. It's the one right after this one. What software did use to make your HDR?

The foreground is under exposed, which may mean you might have chosen a more appropriate range of exposure values. I wonder if you spot metered various parts of the scene to determine what range and number of exposure steps were needed?

Whoops, sorry. I used Photomatix. I think I metered the sky then did three different exposures.
