A friend of mine wanted to give HDR a go so he sent me 5 images to try it out on, I Did the HDR processing for him. I might give this a try myself, it was fun playing with the images.
This is my first effort, Do you see any way I can improve the processing? To me it looks almost normal...I think adjusting shadows etc. and playing with the saturation and clarity in LightRoom will give a similar effect.

Had another go at it.
One thing I notice is that the full resolution 100mb tiff file is sooomuch nicer than these web optimized versions.

This stuff is addictive

One last attempt from same series.

All of them look excellent IMO!! #1 looks the most natural none HDR like image, but I much prefer the more HDR look of the rest

I think you may have went a bit to far in the last image. The halo on the top by the tree line and the saturation in particular I noticed.

Over all, great efforts and thanks for sharing

Good job on these, with regard to lightroom giving a similar effect, I think you could give it a similair processed look if that's what you are after, but I don't think it will be as effective on the DR of the image.
I'm glad your getting addicted

I like all of them, they look really nice. It's not easy to do a good hdr image and imo you have
succeeded.
