Which leads me to this: why do you react differently to shots that look closer to reality? Do you mean that you are conditioned to looking at photographs with their limited dynamic range (compared to ourselves) in mind?
Single shots usually have a wider DR. Most tone mapped (compressed DR) shots have low local contrast in parts of the image (mostly the parts that have lifted exposure compared to the highlights). I guess that that\'s the reason why they often look like paintings.
I don\'t like the tonemapped look much because it looks to me like the parts that are exposed for the shadows have been pasted in and blended with a gradient wich gives this weird glow.
