Went back to the abandoned missile silo for some more photographs. As with round 1 (http://www.uer.ca/...=1&threadid=118098), its all HDR. Eager to hear what you guys have to say. tear 'em up

Personally I really like subtle HDR like this, especially in a place that has so many textures like the peeling paint and collapsing ceiling. It seems like you shoot very similar to how I do.
The angle in #4 slightly bothers me since the door frames aren't running vertically.
For the most part you have your rule of thirds down, and can find an interesting angle. The only other thing that bothers me a little is how some of the skies are still blown out, sometimes it's worth shooting a way underexposed shot to get the definition on the sky, other times I've just done the HDR shot then dropped the underexposed shot on the image and masked in where I need the sky darker.
As I say, just keep shooting! Keep an eye on those vertical lines, overall a nice set..

Great pictures. This is an excellent use of HDR. So subtle you barely recognize it, but it helps make the colors pop. I'd say the HDR is a little too strong in picture #6.
I like the chair in pictures 1 & 10 for the additional color. I feel like 3 & 4 might work in black and white because of the difference in brightness.
