When shooting HDR, it's so hard not to push past "natural"

Thanks for the comments and likes everyone. After I posted this, I was looking at it and decided I didn't like the sky and began playing around with another version. It took a lot more effort than I thought, but I finally was able to get this. If you're willing to share, I'd really appreciate your opinion as to which version you like better.

how about posting ONE exposure from each of the HDR photos, so we can see what 'completely unmanipulated with HDR' looks like, too?

Tough one. There are bits of each that are more appealing. Overall I think the first is more "natural" looking and I'm inclined to vote for that.

After comparing the too, I can appreciate why you prefer the sky in the second one. I do too. As such I like your second effort even more. (Either image is fantastic though).

I'd be more than pleased with either. Both are stellar.

In the original image the sky gives me the impression of a halo effect above the near rock structure that softens the top edge of the rock. The second image has a more crisp, defining edge to the top of the rock structure. I like that more defined edge. But, I like the hazier atmosphere surrounding the rock formation in the background of the first image.
