Just some friendly critique as I love HDR...Your sky has haloing going on by the mountains and the sky looks dirty. I don't think you got enough dynamic range with your exposures unless you purposely went for a silhouette look.
I don't know as much as I like HDR I am not moved by this photo. I am not feeling the composition either. There are a lot of rules I break when shooting but when I do I try to have something of interest that stands out. In this case I could see the ripples but since its near the center of the frame its not working for me.
On a positive side at least you tried and whiling to post for critique also you should have the exposures to make a pretty skyline if you take the time and reprocess.
I am just one guy though and what do I really know.

@Vipgraphx
I normally use photoshop to do my HDR, and then tonemap afterwards in a program called luminance. Unfortunately I don't have photoshop installed on the desktop right now. So I had to create the HDR in luminance, and then tonemap it there as well. Luminance, does a...ok job at creating a HDR image. I think the dirty skyline is a result of tonemapping a poor HDR file.
As far as the silhouette look, I was going for that indeed going for that. The Halo'ing is a result of the operator used in tonemapping.When I get photoshop installed I'm going to re-do this
