HDR is the shiz, if you don't know what it is, check these links:

Here is my first attempt, done using a basic canon dig camera and photoshop CS4.

Not amazing, but not aweful IMHO :P

I think it looks really good. You got just a tad white washed in the back by the garbage cans but some careful burning in PS:CS4 would touch that up very nicely.

Pretty nice pic.

Open parking lots and sunsets are the best for hdr's though

I think a little cropping and your golden.

I seriously just jumped to the picture and was trying to see if you had some kind of lip on there made from some trim crap or something lol.

HDR is really hard (read: pretty much impossible) without having an uncompressed raw image file (gif, jpg, etc. are compressed), and the image can not be overexposed with bright white light anywhere in it. It's cool to see what you did though, Photoshop is fun. :) Check out Adobe Lightroom too.

To me it just looks like a normal day picture. I see no hdr.

I've got CS4 and Lightroom, CS4 comes with an HDR rendering utility built-in, works pretty good!

Yea that doesnt look too hdr-ed, maybe the trees look a little like it.

I really want a nice camera to take some sweet pics, been pondering picking up one up and attempting to shoot like this. I wish...

The 'look' I'm going for can be seen in the second link in the first post, people have done some amazing HDR renderings and posted them to flickr, just blows my mind. This is kinda where i'd like to go:
