IMO, 3 is the best and it's good. Very dramatic sky.
1 - too noisy, nice composition though.
4 - I think you should bring out the foliage colour more. Too red for my taste.
1. Very dramatic, very interesting mood. I think this image would be fine without the increasing saturation up-front.
2.Surreal. To my taste, the saturation is over the top. Like the first, I like the composition.
3. HDR? Interesting lighting, moody sky (which I like). A bit tall, a bit saturated/unreal looking for me. It's clear you are working with a distinct style.
4. Again, excellent composition, interesting lighting. Toning down the saturation, especially in the sky, would leave a pretty classic-looking landscape.
So, in my opinion, you have an excellent eye for lighting, framing, subject matter, but are trying too hard and need to dial back the saturations.
Just my 2 cents.

You are good at composing based on these pictures. They are all framed well and are interesting.
1 - Framed well but seems grainy. Was it highly cropped? It looks like it was underexposed and then adjusted causing noise. It also looks like there was moisture on the lens. This is a great capture as is but is worth going back to - to shoot during at a laste cloudy day. Great picture but low quality
2 - Nicely framed again. But the area in the middle seems like it is smeared with color. It could be fog. Is this a scanned picture from film. I think it is overprocessed.
3 - Nicely framed but the building looks like its leaning. I presume because of a wide angle lens. This could be fixed in photoshop. Nice colors but a bit oversaturated.
4 - Nicely framed but seems ver soft in trees. The tree middle left should be cloned out. The colors seem off. But mostly the soft is too soft.
Great framing, good pictures. Keep on posting Good job.
I like 2 and 4 best, but I'd dial back the saturation too. Techniques in PS should enhance, lead the eye, rather than shout, "Look! I've been Photoshopped!"
