When there are hazy outlines around objects (generally those contrasted with the sky in a photo), it's a sign of "this photo was HDRed to shit". The entire point is that you should not be going out and saying "I want to take some HDR photos today" you should be saying "this is an incredibly interesting shot that I have before me, it's a shame I'm probably going to have to use HDR exposure to get an equivalent image to what my eye sees". Hopefully the point is coming across.
HDR i feel has become an almost over-used term, stereotyped with the perception of heavily over edited pictures that are attempting to milk the effect. I've never seen a HDR image look good. You know why, because you're not supposed to tell that the person has evened out the exposure to seem like HDR. It should just be a quality to the image that the person maybe 'cant put their finger on'. HDR is a gimmick.
Went for a walk up a hill a couple weeks ago. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sngHemk.jpg[/IMG] Only decent shot I got.

I have a feeling you don't know what your HDR sliders are doing.
or what hdr actually should do
no initative to go out and take pix, so ive edited an older one i liked.

It seems to me like you're trying to throw yourself in the deep end with this editing stuff and you don't fully understand what everything does. Maybe just go for a drive or walk and take pictures of things that make you happy or make you feel anything really, then come back, delete the ones that you don't particularly like and give us your best. Practice with your camera, learn all the functions, figure out some theory and technical details and it'll come together. I promise.
