I don't mind HDR so long as it's presented as an HDR [B]image/B].

I don't consider HDR Photography, photography at all. It's taking the results of photography, and creating an image with those results.

Of course I could also argue that it is photography.

If we compare it to music... standard, non-hdr, photography would be equivalent to a live performance.
HDR would be equivalent to a song produced in a studio, where each element of the composition was recorded separately. It's still music though, right?

I've seen HDR images that I like, though I've never tried it myself.
