I have to say that I still don't find dramatic tone HDR comes naturally to me. I was hoping this would be good in colour but in the end I felt forced into making it black and white:



Five RAW file 1EV variation bracketed shots merged in Photoshop CS6 HDR Pro and converted to mono in Lightroom 4.1

Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5, lens: Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8.

Yes, the arm does look odd, but the rest of the startue really stands out.
