Well a camera is a machine afterall so all pictures are synthetic...:-) But I know what you mean about HDR, it can look overly artificial.
I love the color and exposure in this picture, love the subject...my only suggestion is to try framing it differently (or cropping) without the smokestack right smack dab in the middle of the picture. I think centering can be good when symmetry is important but I'm not seeing symmetry here. As it is currently composed my eye just goes right up the smokestack and stays there without any other looking around the picture. I think if you had the smokestack more off center the eye would travel more in the frame and eventually go up the smokestack. I think it might make for a more dynamic image (that old rule of thirds!). Of course it's all a personal creative choice but it might be worth playing around with...
