I took these along the Ocoee River in East Tennessee, it was very overcast that day tell me what you like or do not like, I can't get better without input.

The technique is very natural looking. The compositions of #3 and #5 are quite appealing!

I like them as they are. I think most landscapes benefit from overcast days--on film by pushing, and in digital by contrast controls. The whole scale of tones and colors here are rich and detailed.

Excellent set of images. I like all of these, but for me #3 is the favorite. Love the composition, color, and exposure.

Great use of HDR in all of them. Generally a nice set and the old bridge makes a nice focal point, which landscapes often lack.
Specifics:
1. I'm not sure about the composition in the 1st. Initially, I thought that the bridge just peeking out was nice, but the more I look at it, the more distracting I find the foreground tree in the right.
2. Great leading line and contrasting tonalities. I like the texture and detail on the bridge.
3. Same comments as 2. This has the added appeal of the leading line not ending centered in the frame. This could be the best in a strong set.
4. I think cropping out some of the foreground shoreline and the right side may help. Right now it lacks a point of interest, or the point is too small in the frame.
5. The other contender for my top pick. The far stream bank and the train trestle divide the frame into thirds. The textures in the water are wonderful and I like how the trees and shrubs just reach up to the bridge. Too bad about the branch in the upper left. I might be tempted to clone it out.
Really well done.

They are all very good, I am not a fan of HDR but I like yours, not too overdone.
