I find exaggerated color manipulation done on a monitor that is not calibrated to be tacky. In a situation like this, proper exposure in the first place is key despite the fact that it is possible to manipulate a digital photo. (Just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should*.)

Three ways could have provided shadow details without compromising saturation:
A) Polarizer filter, ND grad filter, and/or UV/Haze filter
B) HDR
C) Photograph with film
Film still surpasses a single digital frame in terms of range of lumens captured. HDR *can* surpass film; however, no printer currently can output a range that is comparable to that of a photograph. The extra dynamic range that is gained in the multiple exposures is lost again when you print or view on the monitor. i.e. film is still the champ.
