Ahh, one more note, whith these kind of photos light is of course important to give proper colours and contrast, one of mine photos with a good light:

If light was like no light, then you may experiment with overcontrasting it, or drastic levels adjustments, sometimes is may give surprisingly good results.
I couldn't resists to have a quick play with another of yours, hope you don't mind (of course you have to use your imagination to tell these Arrows are Red ).

Hi Unlocker,
Last two definitely for me, all pics are too dark, what I would try is to add a bit of light (levels - white point), then some contrast to develop the smoke better and a bit of small radius unsharp mask to get the smoke more articulated.
Here's my very quick try, surely it can be done much better.

Hi Amin, that looks good.
Just wondering how it would look like if background would have vertical lines, that could play nicely with the sloped colours in the glasses.

Great set, very sharp, well exposed.

Very nice set of pics.
Slow shutter times, but pics sharp, not blurred. Tri/mono-pod or steady hand?

I want't be getting into details, clue is, getting any reply from a representative (even if that was going to be outcome of a bit informal chat) is better (and doesn't matter if it says "no way", "can't do anything") than no reply at all, no complaint here, just a back to reality .

Ahh, now I "see" the benefit of using browser with few plugins to block these ads .
Tried IE instead a browser, but still, busty blonde didn't turn up.

Can't tell about silkypix - I'm not using it, but recently I started using irfan view (plus plugins to support RAW). It has a smart, simple browser, where you can see thumbnails and can quickly open pic to examine it in details, arrow keys to jump to the next/previous one, and del + enter keys to delete, works quite efficiently for me to do a first sorting/deleting .
