I am personally sick of HDR photography. I feel there is no technical merit behind it whatsoever, and think that once that much post processing is used, a person may as well take up painting and leave their camera at home. I don't want to see an HDR shot when I'm looking through flickr, or magazine on photography!
I am mostly frustrated with how much reverence is paid to HDR photographs - often the winning photograph in a competition is HDR. This is because I see it as a completely different genre to the images it is often being compared to in the same category.
Does anybody else agree that its time HDR forms a separate genre of photography? Perhaps it should be treated as different as portraiture:landscape:macro:HDR etc
Here are some interesting links if you'd like:

I'd love to hear some opinions.
