I know Honfleur extremely well ( I have a watercolour of the old harbour hanging in my study) and I must say I have never seen it look like that in real life!
Would make jolly good jigsaw puzzles though.
I am with Robert on this one - HDR is a step too far for my taste.
I like the dimness and lack of detail in the shadows, it adds to the focus and mood of an image like a sunset
Well yes I agree if you are going for the ethereal look, the last thing you want is enhanced contrast. HDR doesn't work for every subject or situation.
That's why I prefer not to do it in camera but consider if the final image can be improved? from hyping the detail later.
Sunsets invariably have their own quality that would be spoiled by reducing the silhouette effect.
