Test Driving HDR

Missy and I were on our way home from Davenport when I spied this sunset cloud formation behind this farm. It was too good to pass up, so as I slammed on the brakes and made a quick turn down a gravel road and locked an unsuspecting Missy in her seat belt as she's lunging forward and sideways with the unexpected momentum of my deft maneuvering, I knew time was critical.

To my eyes the scene was gorgeous, but I knew to the camera the contrast between shadows and highlights would be too much, so I decided to bracket and finally try my hand at HDR. What do you think?
