I have to agree with the others and say that the HDR just killed a perfectly good photo. It's unnecessary and did not add to the photo in a positive way, in my opinion.
A relax moment of the boys at the wedding day. I can tell it's the wedding day because of the flower on the shirt; however, if the F stop can be adjusted from F/4 to around F/2.8 with wider angle (24mm) to ensure the sharpness, then I don't think it's necessary to adjust the HDR. The strong HDR effect makes the image flat and unreal.
Good composition, setup, moment. But why kill it all with an excessive and crude HDR treatment? A good photo needs only a polish, not a makeover.
