Good composition. Good use of foreground elements. The sky is not a plus. No detail lost in highlights or shadows.

It does have an HDR feel to it, but not overly so - works very well with this picture, in my opinion.

Very brooding. Nice composition and use of HDR to bring out all of the interesting detail.

A more subtle, though visible use of the treatment. I like what it did with the rocks and the remainders of that old pier.
