It reveals some of the finer details which one doesn’t see normally, I think.
Since you asked, I will give my opinion on HD. Generally I don’t like it because the lighting doesn’t look natural. It doesn’t have shadows that give depth-to me, the photos somehow look flat and uninteresting.

Many thanks for your frank comment which I agree with for most of the points.
Illl go with this one…adds depth and detail, also matches location and light 🙂
Haha, you definitely have your own professional angle. Some photos which have a lot of hidden details in low light are more revealing in HDR!
I prefer the HDR version.
I am hearing people like both – almost in equal numbers!
I prefer the non HDR
Haha, quite a look of the readers prefer the non HDR photo!
I like this one best. It seems sharper. Anyway, it appeals to me.
If you look at the number of Likes, the number of readers liking the original one slightly exceed the HDR ones!
