Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

A good image. A little over saturated for my liking and I think it might have done better in voting with a tighter crop (top and bottom). Details are good, and you've the details in the smoke are brilliant.

This is one of my favorites in this challenge. Great scene. It looks a bit more tonemapped, than HDR detail enhanced, but I can't tell for sure. At any rate, the colors are great. (some unnatural sky colors, but not a big problem) 9

Amazing, I with it was a bit more HDR down below and not just in the sky so much. But composition is great, colors are fantastic, smoke is amazing, sky is beautiful, textures and dynamics are almost spot on. I'd just like it a bit darker, more grungy.

Enhances this nicely, without being overdone. The smoke looks great.

Great scene. I don't like the saturation of the faces.
