The plugin is not for tone mapping. It uses the exposure fusion function of Photomatix. As you can see, you get the benefit of "HDR" type processing with a very natural look.

How I did it.
I must confess, I used a plugin to get this result. First, I took 3 exposures (-1, 0, +1). It was pretty bright outside so my shutter speeds were fast enough to hand hold the shots. I began in Lightroom and merged the exposures using Photomatix's plugin to create a 32 bit file. This allowed greater latitude for the highlight and shadow adjustments. I brought down the highlights to get some color and detail back in the sky, then lightened the shadows to get some more detail in the shadows. Then I increased the clarity to bring in more mid tone contrast into the fields and mountains.
