Not much details for me, everything seems dark and the reflections are not really helping the shot. The buildings at the left are not very sharp for me too.

I don't see much details on this one. Though the colors and light are nice, so as the catch.

The saturation is too much in my opinion and nothing seems to be on focus too. The harsh light at the background is distracting too and the image is kind of small.
I'm not experient but i would have used a tripod (if possible), chose a high F/number (or a small aperture) to give more DOF and then processed it trying reduce the white level at the background and make it higher at the foreground, because i think you chosed a nice subject, and the light seemed to be nice on that day. Some nice details on the fore and background would be really nice.

Too snapshot for me. The composition is too busy and the colors are a little dead. I don't see much HDR either. Maybe a conversion to B&W and more details would be nice. Good luck, sorry for any harsh words.

The harsh light is a little distracting, though the colors are nice so as the perspective. I think the shot could be brighter too, but that was probbably impossible because of the harsh light. The darkness on the trees killed the details, which are a really important things in HDR. Hope you don't get offended by the comment, good luck.

Bottle with bubbles

The bottle is oof and i don't know if you did that, but looks like the bottle was moved between the captures. The shadows are really distracting too, but i like the B&W and textures. This doesn't look much HDR for me too. Sorry if i was rude, good luck.

The background is kind of distracting for me. In my opinion this is not HDR and the flower seems to be OOF. The colors and light are pleasing though.

I saw this 1 week ago at the abstract macro:

Don't know if you got your idea from there, but i like the light anyway, just think that the background and crop are not fitting there.

Two shots like that in this challenge, the other one is too recent though, this may take some points from you. Maybe you didn't see it, but anyway...
I like the placement, textures and borders. The background is a little distracting for me.
