My first HDR attempt, what do you think?

I used Photomatix to process the image. Let me know what you think or if you have any tips for me.

Thanks!

I think if you pulled the table/image away from the direct light just a tad so the sun isn't drowning the candle... this would have improved your already "good" shot. Nice job.

Even though the Sun is drowning out those candles, I think it's a nice photo.

I also agree with hawaiinguy, pulling the object out of the direct sunlight would have made the objects look better, but it is a great picture.

Nice job on your first attempt! A little too much sun though, I know someone else has already said that but I had to add my 10 cents!!!

This is very good for a first attempt! If you turn the strength and luminosity up, white point to zero while reducing gamma, you may be able to avoid washing out the candles. This may up the noise, so microsmoothing can compensate for that.
