I purposely took down the brightness in post to accentuate the sky. All except for the last shot. Does the darker foreground detract? Overall opinions are welcome, as unlike my paid work, landscape is purely for me and my enjoyment, so I don't have a customer saying "Love this" and "You suck". I'd be curious as to what you others think. I am a big boy, so you won't hurt my feelings with any negative comments :)

You suck!

Kidding, I can't think of anything negative but if you want to be picky some of the clouds are a bit too hot. The first is the only one I thought could use more light in the foreground. Nice series #3 was my favorite.

Thanks for taking the time to do the edit. REALLY looks much better.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Another of my concerns was having the horizon fall right in the middle of the frame. Made all of the images look the same, but on the frames where I moved the horizon to a lower third or something, the images just didn't pop. Way too much sky, way too much foreground, etc.

As an example, this is a heck of a lot of sky:
