it looks pretty good however how did you manage to get your car soo blue? when youre adjusting the white balance try to keep the white point not on the sun reflection but the body of the car. that keeps the entire car whte.

and as far as composition goes; i hate the skyline being that close to the middle but other than that it looks pretty good. i prefer the car aimed towards the road rather than the tires looking like youre making a u-turn too.

Only thing I disagree with is the need to take different shots. You can shoot in RAW and adjust exposure manually.

you still will not get all the detail that you could have, try taking an extremely underexposed shot and bumping up the exposure in post process, the shadows begin to show horrible artifacts and noise. It obviously will not have the same affect if you took another shot that was correctly exposed and then another that was overexposed.

Shooting RAW and then adjusting exposure to created your 3 base pictures for merging can only go so far. It does come in handy though when there are moving objects since your subject or something in the background might move when you're taking your 3 bracketed shots.

one of the sites that I link to in that other post talks a little bit about 1raw vs 3raws it
