our eyes geatly exceed what the camera sensors can see our eyes can see 50,000:1 in dynamic range , a camera sensor 300:1 . everything in photography is a trade off. either the nice white clouds are blown out and pure detailess white or the darker objects on the ground are to dark and lost. thats why best photography is at sunrise or sunset. depending on the processing after the merge thats what gives that artificial look. the merging of 3 exposures byitself leave a very natural picture, just like any other. only thing you notice is you can see in the shadows and sky and clouds look great all at the same time. those effects in those pictures was just regular manipulation in photoshop.. the pictures you posted sre pushed pretty far with color booster as those reds pop out.
