Dale. You have achieved the effect using HDR that I am going to strive for. A "real" view of what was there. I think that is where HDR is so useful. Knowing Port Adelaide well you have captured the essense of what was probably there. Awesome shot

Excellent processing for this being your first HDR. It has an HDR light, details and color, but well processed to not include the overblown halos that sometimes plague great shots! Well done!

i really like this shot, but the processing isn't as good as what you can do now. i reckon you should have another go at it, perhaps turn the sharpening down a bit for the buildings in the background.
i would love to have a crack at HDR'ing this if you're willing ;)
