A little bit more cloud would have been nice

And foreground interest.

I'm sorry HDR will always look unreal and unnatural, use filters instead or
blend bracketed shots manually.

Letting a pc decide on whats best doesn't work!

You are the photographer YOU do the processing.

I think you are missing the point of HDR (bad name really) , it is a
technique used to get a particular end result, not to produce something that
looks like what the photographer saw when he pressed the shutter.

They're not mutually exclusive. HDR is just another tool in the toolbox.

True of course but I do think that some shooters go just a little overboard
for my taste.

What is this end result then?

It's the same with any new toy.
Remember solarization.
Remember posterization.
Remember your puberty? :-)

Whatever you want it to be.

Anything other than a photograph then.

If that's what you want.

And how many times do I see these claiming to be photographs.
