Just checking in on the HDR discussion...
I think it all depends on the amount of the effect put into making the image.

Here's one from Oceana in 2009 on a rainy overcast day.

Hi Tom! Which software did you use and which settings?

I use Photomatix......although I wish I'd known about Topaz before I
made my purchase. It seems both are quite good but I would have like to
have tried out Topaz as well before making my decision.

Regards,

Nick

Just add my piece here, I have, and have used Photomatix Pro, but I now
find that NIK HDR Efex Pro gives a greater degree of flexibility in HDR
processing and can create subtle conversions, and I use it exclusively
for HDR.
They also have very good tutorials.
Give their 15 day demo version a try.
