Ton, it is a fantastic shots in so many ways, and you may even get a very good response from the general public. HDR is a matter of taste for many. I love your shot. I dont like the HDR treatment. I think with respect to composition, and the general condition, you really nailed it. the scene is overcast, so I doubt HDR is even necessary. would be very interested to see your middle exposure posted.
Now as to why there are issues with HDR, and as HDR goes, this is actually not too bad,
1. there is a shift in colors. the strong warm yellows of foreground, dont work with the very cool of the sky, and greens are somewhere in between.
2. You ended with a foreground which is brighter than the sky.
3. You have a halo following the line of mountains.
4. You also have a pronounced dust spot on the top left, just above the mountain.
What I really like about your HDR treatment.
1. You have maintained very good contrast. the image does not look washed out the ways many of these do.
2. Detail is fantastic.
I think you have a potential wall hanger here with proper treatment.
