Alright, I have 5 minutes, so here goes:

First, overall, film treats you well, don't ever go digital. Besides, who else will use up the world's supply of discarded 801s if you switch?

1. Nice shot, cool angle. The blown-out section on the bottom left could use some cropping - at the size this shows up on my screen, I'd say 3/4 inch off the bottom and 1 inch off the left side. That gives you some pure white, but a little less of that out-of-control white feeling it has right now. Plus it ditches that useless black triangle on the bottom of the frame. Also, the colour's off. I know you probably know that, but it's too much right now. Lose a fair bit of yellow, and a bit of green, and you can keep that underground lighting feel while making it much easier on the eyes overall.

2. That's really nice. I like the ghostly feel of the second elevator in the distance. The only thing that really bugs me about this one is that little bit of black along the right side at the end of the staircase, but that's a minor complaint.

3. Cool documentation type shot. If you cropped a bit of the bottom off, you'd have no idea how far above the ground he is either.

4. It's a bit blurred, but I can tell that's a stunningly attractive man on the left. Cool angle for a fun shot (not enough people take fun shots exploring) and the red LED headlight is a nice touch.

5. Nice, very nice. More proof that night time lighting makes everything look even cooler. As for the off-angle, I hate seeing that from most people, but you do it often enough (and well enough) that I think it counts as a style, not a mistake or a gimmick. Plus the angle gives you several repeating triangular shapes that you wouldn't have got shooting it straight-on.

Better watch yourself, or you'll stop being an explorer and turn into a photographer if you're not careful. ;) Next thing you know you'll be dressing men in suits with stick wings and having them draw concentric circles in a field of dirt...

yep.
