its not dynamic range that is the problem here, its the haze from atmospheric conditions.. and not a whole heck of a lot you can do about that..
i think one of the reasons you might be seeing it as cutout looking is that i think this was taking at a moderate to telephoto focal length, which tends to stack up objects and lessen the apparent difference..
i like this shot craig.. the diagonals work really nice making for a nice composition.. too bad the day wasnt a bit less humid, it would have helped the saturation of the far mountain a bit.. but hey, you made the most of it and came away with a nice image..

this fixes the haze, but i couldnt pull any more contrast out..
