I should add that I am not a fan of photos depicting nature as it is
not. I take lots of landscape and nature photos, but I never try to
manipulate photos so they don't look like what my eyes see.

That is definitely a common school of thought in photography.

Here is the same photo processing it to look more natural. Shooting
into the sun will result in loosing the all detail in the foreground, so
I have been playing with HDR and Photoshop to extract the foreground
detail. I really can't decided if I like the HDR yet, but I do enjoy
experimenting.

Well, of course! But in photography classes they do tend to teach you
to manipulate photos, it's called art.

Great photo!


Thanks, it is definitely a different process combining a the same photo
using different exposures. It allows a much wider dynamic range from
the shadows to the light, but it does give it a surreal look.

As I said, there are different schools of thought concerning photography
and even painting, with everyone having their preferences. Some people
want a photograph to just look like you were there, nothing more or
nothing less.
