I have known some photographers to poo poo HDR and make snide comments dismissing it as a tool used to cover up mistakes. A kind of snobbery. Fortunately not everyone agrees

Nothing wrong with doing HDR Phil

It is just another tool to use to get the image you want.
It's no different to cloning out unwanted parts of a scene, adding a different sky,
Selective cropping etc etc.
They are all image manipulation, heck even adding different filters on the lens is manipulation

What matters is whether you like the end result Sir, doesn't matter what the purist may think as it isn't sitting in their photo album!
I for one love the colours and vibrancy in the scene, as said before it looks like a painting and makes you want to be there
