HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imagery) allows greater range between the light and dark areas of an image. A good example of this is the last "mock" image, you can see that by changing the the layers, shadows are brought out more and it gives the image more of a pop. HDR photography has a painter effect and that is what pulls out the details as well.  In HDRI, the light values can be modified and represent the range of the intensity levels seen by the human eye. Most HDRI is of landscape because it is easier to take multiple shoots where as taking a portrait is harder for the canvas to stay still.
