The HDR is waaaaay overblown, otherwise they'd be alright. The first one, especially.

Just tone down the editing and the pictures would look much better. Let the image speak for itself and not the edits.The shoots look great tho.

Not working at all...
Be nice to see some properly exposed and contrast curve corrected only color images on this rather than the HDRs.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

It seems you set the shots up well and each one has a lead-in interest. But nope on the processing. Hurts the eyes.

Agree with everything said. Also it's a good idea when shooting a space that's relatively dark but has windows to REALLY tone down the highlights to avoid blowouts. In all three my eyes went immediately to the brightest spots which is not what you want.
Also use the straightening tool. Can't really tell on the 1st one but the last two are crooked.

The funny thing about HDR is that it's never subtle, at least not when it's applied as a "filter". I can spot an HDR image in the tiniest of thumbnails.
There are people out there who are good at it, but they usually are not the ones doing it to get the "HDR look". It works better when you patch it in by hand, in select parts.

Yup, the post processing is..bad.
The compositions are great and I'm sure the exposure is decent.
But the over saturation...terrible.
it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Id love to see these before the HDR. I Love Kings Park and I'm sure you worked hard on these. But, sometimes less is MORE  I wondered what one would look like in B&W, so i tried it. Not Awesome...but easier on the eyes. Just tone it down a bit and you might like them even more.

I thought these were fantastic. The HDR is a little harsh, but the first thing I thought was "wow, these are really good."

Too much is too much. The dead giving away is little or no near pure black zones. To do HDRs right you absolutely need calibrated monitor/flow through. For that matter you should it have for processing any image.
Not capturing enough dark zone images will always yield an unworkable HDR image set. Better to yield on the side of caution and take as many images over the entire exposure range and sort them out latter. HDRs are tricky.
