Not so great. The colors are a bit too oversaturated, there's alot of noise in the picture. Furthermore, this scene does not really require the use of tonemapping.

Another thing: The whole picture lacks interest and the composition does not help to make it more interesting.

If you are like me, and work with something that will not hurt to ruin, this makes sense. It is good to practice on something minor before going to a more effective shot.
In that, I would say you have a good start here, but as bRokEnCHaRacTer said, it does need work. Keep working on it.

I know the first thing that I see, is the colors, they stand out and really hurt this. Maybe reducing the saturation, and adjusting the lighting might help? I don't do HDR so my suggestion could be off on this.

Shadows are allowed to be dark. Colours don't have to be radioactive.

If you use Photomatix, try exposure fusion instead of tone mapping

The foreground on this looks a lot better. The background is still lacking though. good improvement.

There's not enough contrast range between the lightest and darkest areas for HDR to be effective here...

Try shooting some interiors - your bedroom, the mall, a parking garage, an abandonment, etc.

Seriously a fire hydrant. You're in Lithuania: Nikrace, Plokstine, Irbine, Skrunda-1, all not too far away!

This was my first thought also.

Not a good image to experiment with HDR.
