I would love ur opinions on these.
Picture 1, This was the HDR I feel it is too saturated
Picture 2, I then desaturated it and came up with this. I think this is my favorite version though I like 3 and 4 too.
This was the second with a sepia layer to give the bar an aged feel
This is a B&W version I did because others in this thread tried to do one for a different image that did not look to good. I think it was lacking contrast. This image, however, I think is better with contrast and suits B&W.

My pathetic attempts:
Generally, what I do is crank the Strength slider up pretty high (>90% usually) and then fiddle with the Color Saturation and Light Smoothing settings until I get a result I like. I also see what results I can get with the temperature slider (usually works best in the range of +/- 7). Then I push the Microcontrast slider up a bit to remove any noise.

They are all pretty good. It really take a good shot first, u can't just expect the hdr technique to just improve an image.
Okay, here's one for ya' It takes a lot of work to get it right, but I was able to get this in the end:

Wow, I like both of the versions. I was thinking more of a darker theme, but the lighter version are awesome too!

Thanks for sharing the tutorial for everyone to use. This thread is starting to get somewhere thanks to all who have contributed.
This is a pretty cool thread because we're seeing that multiple people can create the HDR from the same images and tone mapping is a personal thing. the images are different and you start to realize an image can be tone mapped totally different ways to convey a completely different feeling or message.
Thats a very good point, because so many people have their own personal ways to tone map it is possible to make an image have a very different feel, compared to others.
Any of the other ones you wish to show us. Or if you have some exposure shots for us to use.
