    These scenes are excellent candidates for HDR and you've done a nice job without overdoing it. Having said that, many HDR images can can be much enhanced by tweaking them in PS after the hdr conversion. i think these fall into that class. I'd like to see #1 and #4 with more contrast to overcome the slightly washed out quality. Adding a contrast layer and bumping the contrast to 50-60 would, IMO, improve them. As for #2 and #3, The blues are a bit unnatural. You might try adding a hue/saturation layer and decreasing the saturation of the blue by 50-60 then add a selective color layer and add quite a bit of black to the blues. I tried this and liked the results. I'd like to know if you try it and agree (or not).

    ETA: I looked at and tweaked these on my laptop as I am not home to use my usual photo-editing set up so that might have influenced how they appeared to me.
