I agree, I've seen similar in vintage National Geo too. Since the integration of the HDR facility in PS it seems that most HDR image presented for scrutiny are pretty much only images that are well overdone. I've been doing this for a while using scripts and other systems and to me it was not so much of a filter for effect but a pictorial tool. And if well utilized, a photograph could be produced with far greater d-range than normal but still appear very subtle and natural. Granted the in-your-face-over-the-top HDR treatment can be well be used to good creative effect but I've seen few examples where I'd consider that's the case. I guess it's a bit like what a kid will do if handed whipped cream in a can.
