The only difference between an HDR image and a normal image is that the HDR
image is capable of storing color values greater than one (and also very
tiny values in high resolution). It would appear that your HDR image isn't
taking advantage of this. If the scene it came from doesn't have any
brighter-than-one spots (which appears to be the case), you won't benefit
from using HDRI.
