Even though you've reduced the dynamic range ala HDR, these are very natural and don't desreve the HDR label

Nice shots : - I wouldn't call them HDR at all, which to me conjures up the acid trip cartoon stuff that's rather sickly.

No, no , no. This is what HDR was invented for and how it should be. I'd never say a word against it if used like this - acid trips are acid trips that just find the HDR tool an easy way to artistically distort the original.

Photomatix Pro has a number of presets including a few which are 'natural' & 'photographic', they are good starting points for using the software for this aim.

Couldn't agree more. Do not appear as HDR at all, which i suppose is the greatest compliment you can pay a HDR image. Beautiful set of images.
