Stunning pic, love the framing branch at the upper left also. Looks like you had to make some sacrifices to get enough light; the glyph (what do you call those things?) in the left foreground is somewhat bright...but that is only nitpicking. The drama of this pic makes it a keeper.
It's truly beautiful, and from all I've been reading about HDR I wonder if this type of scene would be a good candidate for that type of treatment. It's a dynamic and all encompassing shot.
