Keitaro's Iona shot is a good example of what, to me, is abuse of HDR (and apologies if it's not an HDR, but it sure looks like it), with the rocks being over-brightened and the sky being over-darkened to the point that they look unnatural together. I mean, it's a neat shot, it looks cool, but it doesn't look natural. Paolo's does.

I agree with you. There is a range in the scene, the sunlight hitting the windows, and then the dark shadow parts by the shopping cart and sleeping bag.
It doesn't have to be over the top to be a HDR image. We wouldn't have known if he didn't say, right?
