This is a bit of a rerun from 2007, but after checking out the site CountryBoyShane gave to McCollough's site, he demonstrated the need to use layer blending and layer masks to get decent HDR results. IMHO, if you're going to do that anyway, why not try to make a realistic looking photo rather than an over-processed painting? Just another point of view.
