With all these comments on HDR and what is "supposed" to be HDR, take a step back fro a moment and just interpret the photograph how the photographer interpreted/processed his pic.
HDR is just a tool to enhance images, whether it be "wild" HDR with haloing and bright colors and intense contrast, to a subtler interpretation to use just to bring out more details in the shadows and highlights... ultimately, there is no right or wrong. Individuals will have their opinion and as individuals, we have our distinct likes and dislikes, but again, in art, there is no right or wrong. We just get what the photographer interprets and creates. One might like the artificial look and not try to hide it was HDR'd, and others might like the subtle look.
Seems to me he knows what HDR can do, but used it to give it some bite, but Photoshop could have been used just the same.

i completely agree, the cartoonish looking HDR's are interesting, but i also like the pics with just subtle tweaks alot more.
im sure photographers dont take pics to make them look like cartoons and to have over dramatic colors and what not. with that being said though, i have found there are simply some pics that make for better HDRI's than others... and none of those pics that i have noticed have had cars in them...
