I don't see any ghosting so I don't think there was a lack of a tripod. They've just been heavily processed. There's some haloing on the first one and they both have a bit of that "pastel" color look.
there isnt much ghosting anymore with the current hdr software unless objects were really moving.. it seems to melt the edges if you hand hold and its seen as a loss of sharpness.
if you use a tripod its important to disable the alignment feature.
HDR is many things to many people. Some people use HDR for more natural-looking photos:
Others like the fantasy-look you can get with HDR:
For me, it all depends on the subject and the mood I'm trying to set. I also shoot real estate photos for realtors and I use HDR to get the full range of the rooms/homes I shoot but can't have that fantasy-look to them.
Don't forget, sharpness is influenced by a lot of things, not just the HDR process. They seem sharp enough to me, they just have a narrow DOF and I'm not sure the point of focus is the best choice, especially on the second one.
But also remember that the HDR process can add a lot of noise too, which can soften an image. It is not necessarily an alignment problem.
