Please critique my HDRs

Can you please critique my HDRs? I am experimenting with it and was wondering how I did.

What happened to the quality??? They look better on my computer.

[canonloader]

Quality goes down when you link them for some reason They look nice, but the first two are a little dark for my taste. #4 is the most interesting to me.

[dixonk]

4 is my favorite too. None of the other cranes were moving unfortunately. So in order to show good quality I need to upload them on to POTN?

[canonloader]

No, that will make them even lower quality. Uploads as attachments your only allowed 150K. I think what's happening is photobucket is trimming the quality at their end, although, I have my own server space and there is no limits, but even mine show degraded IQ in the forums.

[dixonk]

Well I reuploaded them into Photobucket again and this time it looked better. I think there is a problem with the bulk uploader.

[randy.wick]

Did you convert them to sRGB before uploading?

[-Douglas-]

They all look pretty good here!

[dixonk]

Yes they are sRGB. There was only a problem with the bulk uploader. The regular uploader did fine.

So...how are they? :D

[tmcman]

As far as HDR goes, they have a style,
low key with a few sparkling bits, slightly unsaturated.
I think its good.
The fourth and the last are particularly interesting to me.
Of one and two I like two, a little more light.

Thanks for the comments. I am going out again sometime this week but I want to try with the beach at night. I am hoping the moonlight cooperates for what I am visioning right now.
