Those are more artistic, a few a bit overdone but it depends on what the client wants or what the desired end result is. Personally I prefer to keep things realistic or it goes from photography to more graphic design/art.

I want to see someone shoot a night or sunset scene of a high end home with large lit windows with a lighted fountain or swimming pool in the foreground. Most of the time there is no way you can exposure for the sky, the home, the landscape, the water, and the architectural lighting. It's simply not possible.

I shot a $47 million house in Palm Beach and they replaced all the "professional" photos that two different companies did with my shots because I used a very slight bit of HDR. I was able to expose the house and the bright blue sky and ocean in the back ground at the same time. Forget shooting interior and being able to expose for what is outside the windows at the same time unless it's that 5 minute window during sunrise or sunset matching the interior to the exterior....even then it's highly unlikely.
