For me Ted you've overdone the HDR here, as there are very few shadows left which give your photo a bleached out unnatural appearance.
On the positive side the dof is very good, & it's a well framed subject.

Thanks for the comments,
i like the HDR effect, i wanted an almost rendered look to the final image, it's the textures i was interested in more than shadow etc...
thank you for sharing... :)
