For my taste, the No HDR image is the superior in each of these. Of the
HDR images HDR1 is superior to HDR2.
The HDR images look to me like what would happen if I opened the "No
HDR" image in Camera Raw and slid the contrast slider over to the left.
HDR1 looks like it was slid halfway to the left and HDR2 looks like it
was slid all the way to the left and brightness was slid to the right.
I don't think HDR improves either of these images.

I just happened to try a few other shots at different settings - so I
can show you what it looks like. These are not shots that I was
planning to show as keepers, but they can certainly be a good
learning tool.
These shots were tripod mounted using the built in HDR facility of
the K-x.
