I agree with Mark on this. I don\'t have a bone to pick with those who use HDR, but I think I get results that are more satisfying in terms of my photographic objects by using other techniques, even though they may be more labor intensive and require a lot more personal intervention and decision making.
On the other hand, I\'ve been surprised in the past year or so in discussions with some folks who have been pretty highly regarded for their work for a number of years and who you would not tend to associate with the more extreme HDR \"styles,\" that they are using some HDR techniques and software in subtle and effective ways. This leads me to feel that HDR itself is not necessarily a bad thing - it is more a question of how it is used.
