So this is my first set of HDR photos and I am looking for friendly comment and suggestions. I am still learning how to do my workflow and PP so any suggestions would be great.

The first one looks excellent, the second one might look better as a monochrome.

Can you tell us about the process you used to create them such as exposure and software?

The first one's gorgeous! It doesn't even look like any HDR PP was done.

#1 agree with everyone, HDR is at its best when it doesn't look like HDR :) well done!

#2 maybe monochrome would but the purplish blue sky is appealing, what isn't are the plane trails in the clouds. can you clone them out somehow?

#1 is great. Is it just me or is it slightly tilted to the right???

the horizontal is straight maybe the perspective is a bit off.

I thought the horizon was off but it checked out ok...its interesting someone else mentioned it. Something tricks the eye a little bit into thinking the horizon is off on the first one.

Regardless is a great shot!

This happens to me often, i have a tons of shots where they look crooked to me and i check the horizon and they are perfectly straight.
