I agree full heartedly. The hdr bloom is way overdone. If it's trying to simulate what the human eye sees/does, it fails. It represents something closer to film, which has something like a dynamic range of 12 f-stops compared to the 30 or so F-stops of a human eye. A weeker bloom would look much...
