| | | | cool lookin place. I used to have a desk just like the ones in the last photo.
40+ year olds with Myspace pages are not cool, they are pediphiles on the prowl. Buyer beware. |

| | | | First one and third one look grainy. Don't know if that was the look you were going for, but that's how it appears.
Second one: I don't like the overexposure so close to the edge of the photo. It draws my eyes away from the picture. There's also no clear subject. Nothing really pops.
The fourth one I'm LOVING, besides the fact that it's a little distracting, and my eyes can't focus on a clear subject for very long. It appears that the set of desks in the back are your subject, but my eyes wander. Try messing with your DOF.
In this eerie night I will fly. I will dance in the circle of pain,
walking in this unknown empty land,
so confused for what's wrong or right. Searching for my inner power. - Nightrage-Circle of Pain |

| | | | I really liked #4 as well. The square hole in the ceiling created a nice sky light that made the desks stand out.

| | | | 2 and 4 are just killin' it! Love em.
On 2, if you could somehow drop down the reflection and burn on the top right corner it could improve the photo. The texture, color and lighting are spot on though otherwise. Your compo is good, but I think maybe the bottom right corner detracts a little.
#1 is underexposed on the inside, and a little burnt on the door. The difficulties of shooting light and dark during the day. Shoot at night and handlight to get equal lighting, or add light on the inside to compensate for the underexposure. HDR is a perfect application for this photo.
Cool stuff.

I was reading about Auto Exposure Bracketing in the manual, should I try it out in this situation where the image is too dark or blown out in portions?

Yeah, AEB is the easy way to take multiple photos to combine with HDR software or manually.
You'll need a tripod to properly use this as each picture needs to be exactly the same or lots of photoshop work is required. The camera will generally take 3 photos, at different exposures. Usually you can set it to 1/3 2/3 or 1 F stop separation between exposures.
HDR's best use is when you have high contrast lighting. Very bright sections and very dim sections are almost impossible to take a picture of where one part is not under or overexposed.
Perfect example of this is a shadowy interior with bright outside light coming through a door, or window.
I don't like the overdone use of HDR but it does have its place. I'm just not very good at using the software to combine shots and get a result I'm looking for. That's one reason I shoot at night; I control all the light! It's not too bright unless I make it that way...
