That is because of what you expect. You seem to expect that the 
highlights are blown out and shadows are "blocked" (no details). That 
happens with 1 hour lab photos. But with other ways you can reduce that 
"effect" even without using composites. I desribed some of those methods 
in the other post.

How about the third photo on this page:

It at least resembles Jaime's photo distantly. But I see your point 
allthough IMO Jaime's image had quite realistic lighting that could've 
been seen in a "real" photo.
