I like #2 and 4 the best here. The issue with several of them is all the extra lights on the ground layer, the streaks especially. With a lot of human activity in an area like that, using some layer masks to paint out those lights or perhaps just cloning out those lights would really help the shots.
For instance in #5, I think the array is lit really well, but the large streak of light to the left and that smaller dotted light both distract. Considering how dark the ground layer is, it should be very easy to clone those out. Same with #3, you captured the Milky Way in it, but that wide swath of light cutting across the horizon distracts and really cuts the image into two.
That is an interesting area with lots of possibilities, but I can see where the human interaction there can really make for a deterrent also.

Thanks for the comments Jim. I had to decide whether I wanted to mask out the streaks or keep them and ultimately decided to keep them, but I certainly see where you're coming from :-)
I may re-attack them later to see if I like the darker foregrounds - I guess to me they were just features of the image, but I certainly also see them being potentially distracting.
