NATURAL VS. HDR

So many different styles, so many different artists.  Photography is not black and white.   There are so many different styles: Portrait vs lifestyle photography, images right from the camera vs. images processed in camera raw, lightroom, photoshop.  Images that are softened vs. images that pop, Vintage vs. modern.

I guess we can say photography comes in every shape and size just like we do and it is up to each one of us to determine what type is more appealing to us.  I recently dabbed with HDR images.  I'm not sure what I think yet and it's certainly far off the spectrum of my traditional more natural shots that I soooo love.

So I ask natural ? Or HDR?
