I think the indoor/outdoor combo shots could benefit from a bit of re-balancing. In #3 (my favorite of the set) for example, the bright green trees through the window at the end of the hall is pretty jarring. I understand the appeal of the juxtaposition, but the small portion of the frame that is occupied by the window throws it off balance. Some options to deal with this:
1) Shoot with a longer focal length and stand a bit further back in the hall to compress the perspective. The window at the end of the hall will appear larger relative to the foreground elements.
2) Blow out the highlights on the window. I feel like this changes the message significantly (and kind of defeats the purpose of the HDR), but it's a possibility.
3) Convert to B&W. Personally, I prefer black and white when color adds little to, or even detracts from the message. In this case, the message I see is better in black and white.
I'm pretty new at all this, so take it all with a big grain of salt! This critique is probably more helpful for me than for you!
