This was really thinking outside the box, and I love the result. What a great interpretation of the challenge.

Clearing Storm, Late Spring, Yosemite Valley

Comment:
This was, no doubt, an incredible sight to behold. I do like the composition, but in fact the processing is so over the top that it pretty much ruins it for me. It's become a caricature of itself.

Bryce Canyon Sunrise

Bryce at sunrise is magical... I have not seen it in Winter, but would love to do so.
I think that a little work on color and contrast on this shot could really increase the impact. Some of that perception may be due to differences in monitors.

I like your choice of perspective, tilting the foreground and shooting up to bring the buildings at left vertical. Looks like it was a beautiful Chicago morning.

I'm not a big fan of the "HDR Look" but this really works. Like the title too.

That's a tough moment to capture. Nice catch!

El Castillo, Chichen Itza
by BeefnCheez

Comment:
Looking at this, I can feel the heat and humidity, even though it's been four years since I've visited there. I love the processing, especially the sky. To me it looks like a *little* rotation clockwise might be in order; the pyramid looks like it leans slightly left. The near corner is vertical, but it still seems to lean left.

I'm not usually a fan of selective desat, but this works for me.

Sydney Opera House, Australia

I like the perspective on the structure, and you got a beautiful sky to boot. I must say, though I'm not a fan of the processing.

The end of the day

Comment:
The tilted horizon seems to throw the composition off. A little higher perspective also may have retained the foreground without it intruding into the scene as much.
