Nice shot and a good HDR.  The "color" and lights brought to mind a Christmas card.

QuoteWhat's HDR?

High Dynamic Range.   It's a technique that extends the image to values that otherwise would not be possible.   Best used where there are both very bright and very dark areas.   It depends on making two or more images of the same thing, at different exposure values, and them combining them with HDR software into a single image.

A great HDR freeware program is Qtpfsgui.   Download and try.  It helps to have a tripod so your images are all the same.  You can fit them in the program, but a tripod is better.
