First successful attempt with HDR

I know, I know. I said I only like minimal editing. And yes I have had a disdain for a lot of the HDR images out there. But I was watching a beautiful orange sunset with this old weathered barn in the foreground, the browned soy beans ready for picking, and that tree silhouetted in between. I tried many different exposures and nothing grabbed the true essence of what I was seeing. So I looked a few of my pictures and like rubbing the genies lamp, popping the cork on a bottle, or opening Pandora’s box I did it I used the HDR function in light room blended the best of all worlds and there it was. I hated my self for it but man I love this picture.
