 3 exposure HDR in photomattix

Maybe I overdid the colour a bit although most other people appear to have done the same.
This image looks good on my monitor but I noticed the colour looked a bit over the top on my tablet and phone which always boost the saturation and contrast.
I took a gamble making the hour long drive to this place because the sky had been overcast all day. When I arrived I thought my trip had been in vain . The sunset time was passing and everything was just dark and grey. It was very windy and the clouds were moving quickly so I decided to take some long-exposure-moving-cloud shots from lower down the hill.
I was just about to pack up when a glimmer of yellow appeared along the horizon. I hurried back up to the top and beheld an explosion of colour that took my breath away. Within 15 minutes it was gone and the sky was dark.
Here's a shot I captured a few minutes earlier:

7 from me. Are these the original colors? Seem odd to me... but I'd love to have been there, if they're real!

Lovely scene either way!

A little too much HDR for my taste, but still a cool image.
