When you look at this ten-years from now, will you think to yourself, "Thank goodness I did that one in HDR."? If the answer is "yes", then you should keep doing this and get even better at it. (This is pretty darn good).

I like HDR when it allows me to expand dynamic range, but try to do it so that a non-photographer won't suspect that I did anything.

I hope you don't mind me writing out my reaction. No offense is meant. I'm just philosophizing about when to use HDR.

Point taken. I felt given the "alien" nature of this location a slightly different interpretation might work...or not. Thanks for the input.
