Thanks guys, fair enough.
The only reason I ask is that I primarily shoot in HDR.
And as of recently most of my work tends to be on the more natural subtle side of the HDR range. HDR for the sake of increased light and tonal range as opposed to just for the sake of HDR (there is a time and place for that too, but not as often). In my mind its very similar to saying hey we will accept your shot, but only if you did not use a ND filter or only if you did no exposure correcting in Photoshop. I just find that there is a very negative stereotype surround the use of HDR in some circles. And it can be very well justified. I would say that the majority of HDR shots out there are the over-processed, gray feel, halo around edges variety. But thats not to say it cant be used correctly just like any other tool in a photographers pallet.
Thanks for understanding and I appreciate the answer.
