Good point!
Hope I am not coming over too negative because I really like the image! More like this would be fun, especially if you manage to place an area of interest close to the camera to emphasise the distortion characteristics.

HDR seems to be used in two ways. The first is to enhance the natural light present to get around limitations in the dynamic range captured by the camera. This can vary in amount used, but tends to be subtle, an attempt to attain what the eye saw in the first place.
The second usage is for an over-the-top graphic novel style with very enhanced contrast and colour saturation.
I don't mind either, actually, not being much of a traditionalist in aesthetics (or anything else). But I find the second mode is getting rather boring after seeing several hundred shots that take it to the limit. The problem for me is that they all end up looking rather too similar, which detracts from the uniqueness of the photographic location and the photographer's perspective.
I don't think that's a big problem in this example. And just to prove I'm not anti-HDR, here's an extreme job I did because the building called for it, IMO.

I quite like this and prefer the colour crop as others do. But I think the sky is too much... making it look more fake than photo. I know with HDR it's a fine line.
