HDR's purpose is to provide detail in areas of deep shadow and highlights that would otherwise be unachievable with a single exposure. There are numerous people who are using the stock image photoshop spits out which is harsh. This may be why you aren't seeing what you expect in mine as I have adjusted the tonal map to 8bit sRGB. "Strong/Bright colors" are a result of overzealous Hue/Saturation adjustment IMO.

That looks very nice. But it still looks like there is a lot of image detail being lost in the shadows. I have noticed a lot of images people post look dark to me. I'm on a Mac, but my monitor is calibrated with Gamma set to 2.2 so that shouldn't be the case. Do my images look light to you? Is that what you meant by what you said above?

I had silicone on there from before and it started to flaked off so I didn't want to put any more on. So I tried some low sheen interior product and it looked good at first, but then must have had a bad reaction with either the silicone or the heat from the drive...looked even worse.
Any recommendations? I hate the super high-gloss stuff.

I'm on a mac also... iMac in fact... running dual screen/extended display with a Gateway monitor. Bought the Huey Pro to calibrate both displays to a set RGB standard... with D65 color temp and 2.2 PC standard gamma.

To make a long story short, I should have gotten a calibration device earlier... I'm reprocessing all my shots. All my photos will be reuploaded on Flickr soon.
The pics look great.

^ which images look great to you?
No Doubt, calibration can make a huge difference. I'm running a very old and tired Apple 21" CRT. If I try to use D65 for a whitepoint, I lose too much brightness. This monitor used to be the **** for color accuracy but has really lost that loving feeling. Now that LCDs are getting better and better at color, I'll be getting something new before year end. Only problem being, I'll have to get a new macbook pro to run it as well.
