Again, HDR is a technique, I don't personally think you can look at an image and go, no thats not HDR. its like saying "No, you didn't dodge and burn it."

I may be wrong Senna, but maybe your trying to say there's no need to apply HDR techniques in capturing that photo?
People need to understand what the HDR technique is...there's a lot of ignorance here. In digital photography, it's a technique of applying tone mapping to a scene by using several different exposures to display an exaggerated dynamic range. No, the colours do not have to be punchy, but mid to deep shadow areas are inherently kept to a minimum, as are very bright highlights.
