Nikko, you need more sources of light and set the exposure longer to get a more vivid HDR photo.

ur red is too hot, should tone down the saturation a little bit, are you just applying brightness and contrast in photoshop? try using the the levels tool and cranking individual levels. Teh composition looks great but the red is a little too distracting, cuz there's no fall off in it at all. Also try taking photos around sunset or sunrise, or when its slightly more overcast, u will get better results
