Some of that impresson for me may have come from the front to back sharpness which is not what my eyes expected perhaps. Contrast of course is intertwined with apparent sharpness too. If something looks too perfect my Photoshop trained eyes now flash on amber. This is part of the HDR conundrum for me personally as well. I do exempt photographs where the perfection is an accepted or at least expected part of the process (fashion comes to mind) As part of my personal learning curve there my benchmark has become "if the viewer can see what I did I didn't did it good and need to re-did it gooder than I did". Possibly I need a five foot wide monitor to inscribe that across the bottom.
