I have also noticed how easy it is to go completely overboard with HDR.
I'm guessing the 9 shot bracketing on the Nikon D200 works very well for HDR. |

That's a nice shot. You should post a link to a bigger picture as this one is a bit small. |
Thank you :) Here is a link to a bigger version:

Just uploaded a couple of HDRs from a trip last summer.
 and a "before" 
This natural bridge would have been impossible to capture without HDR, at the time of day I was there:

Here's another quick one from me, only 4 shots this time. I seem to have some ghosting in this one.

I processed this back in May from a single exposure so that I could get the windows and the inside done properly. Someday, I'll go back and actually shoot it right. :)

Bit too busy & flat to fully appreciate the HDR component of this image.. |

My first attempt at this cool technique. I couldnt find my tripod so I shot handheld.

You can easily use tone mapping to recover some detail in the reflection... It would work better from a larger original, but this gives an idea where you can go:

Only if you are using Photomatix Pro. I don't know if CS2 even HAS tone mapping...

Using your image as an example, here's a rather simple technique that I kinda like, using only Photoshop (CS or CS2):
1) Duplicate the layer
2) Set layer blend mode to Soft Light (note the loss of some details in shadows and highlights? that's a hint to where I'm going next)
3) Click Edit | Adjustments | Shadow/Highlight
4) Adjust the shadow and highlights sliders to pull back some of the details on either end of the spectrum.
5) Adjust the mid-tone contrast slider.
That's it. With just a couple of steps the output approaches what you've seen with the tone mapping using just PhotoShop CS or CS2.
Now... you could leave off step #2 and simply adjust the shadows and highlights for something similar as well. I just happen to like how doing the adjustment on a soft blend layer bumps up the saturation.

Kind of underscores my contention that tone mapping and shadow/highlight in PS aren't all that different...

I like the texture in the wall and the hand that you got there. Any tips on what you did?
