First HDR

Something which I really like the look of is HDR. Vulkan's work is what made me first take notice of it. This is my first ever attempt. I downloaded the trial of Photomatix Basic. Should I have downloaded Pro instead? I wasn't sure.
Anyway, I used a RAW image which I shot today at Castle Leslie in Ireland. I created three different exposures and generated the hdr image. I wasn't sure at all about what to do with the three sliders that the tone mapping presented me with so I didn't alter them too much.



HDR advice would be great.

Cheers
