Trey Ratcliff of Stuck in Customs is a fantastic HDR photographer. All of his shots are amazing (like this one of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at night), but I particularly like this one of Holland.
Check out his blog and be prepared to spend quite some time there: Link

Images that capture wider range tonality than what is capable with a digital camera (which is generally just five stops, iirc), but still look like a real scene.
I don't consider the stuff linked here as HDR except for one or two exceptions.... the colors are false, the light is inconsistent... it looks computer generated.
Not that it's not a cool photo. But it's not HDR.
The Beauty of HDR is allowing the photographer to capture more of the composition. There is substantial loss here. Arguably corruption of the images.
If you want to chalk this up to artistic license, thats fine. But don't call it great HDR. Call it great art.
