My sense was saying that these words are about to come...

This is where photographers go wrong when they say - HDR means unreal..

firstly, there is no need of HDR in portrait, until there are too many highlights and shadows,, and details of each is to be maintained...

I guess there are two rules of HDR which lead the best of them...

The Golden Rule of HDR #1:

Good HDR will not even look like good HDR.

The Golden Rule of HDR #2:

If your image looks like HDR, refer to Rule #1.

"What?" I hear you say. "Good HDR will not even look like good HDR??? - Does that even make sense?"

Yep it sure does. Good HDR will simply look like a well exposed image. It will contain tones that carry right through the dynamic range of the image and these tones will INCLUDE shadows and highlights!

No, HDR does NOT have to mean its unreal. My intent was to make this surreal. There is no need to do a lot of things in a photograph, but its up to the interpretation of the artist. This would look great with just a bit of curves/levels adjustment.

Artistic interpretations are a person's own :) .
