I wouldn't call HDR "cheesy". If someone likes it CHEESY then they can make it CHEESY. It's called personal choice or artistic license. Because you don't like something that doesn't mean it's cheesy.. It just means it's not your style.

I don't like Picasso, but that doesn't mean he's a cheesy artist. Not everyone (myself included) is trying for "photo realism". There is an impressionistic side (as well as a realistic side) that is fun to explore in HDR processing.. I have seen a lot of both styles that I've really liked.

Here's one I'd call "over saturated" and maybe even on the cheesy side.. But I still like it. (-:}
