LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

For me, nos. 1 and 2 are somewhat overpowering.

With no. 3, I find that I am drawn to a white rectangular reflection in her right eye (as you look at the photograph).

Yeah sky looks like its from a different pic altogether, I haven't tried HDR myself yet but -1.7 and +1.7 seem quite large steps? As already said, house and rocks are good!
Very much an amateur.

Yep, sky looks wierd, the house and rocks look okay (but still a little odd to me, but I'm not a great fan of the HDR 'look'), but those dust spots!!

Wish my cat Charlie looked like this Charlie.

The secret with HDR is to be subtle. If it's obvious you have used HDR, then it hasn't worked.

Dramatic shots, though.
