Thanks for the feedback. Yes they are a little OTT regarding the processing and I admit I do go a little too far with it sometimes but it does brake from the norm LOL. It's like having a guitar amp where the dials go up to 11.....I'm usually at 11 
A bit more restraint in future i think!!!

They're excellent pics Andy, the camera/lens combo looks great. Just you went a little too far on the processing for some tastes, which is very easily done with HDR. Often, less is more with HDR, a lesson it took me ages to learn, so don't be disheartened.

Agree.
Compositions are nice. Processing is a bit OTT for my taste. I'm not sure there's enough dynamic range issues in this scene to warrant the use of HDR. I'd go back to the RAW files and have another go. I think you should stick with saturated colours though... just not as saturated as they are here.

On the good side, differently from many HDRs, shadows have not been eliminated, this is good.
On the bad side, the values of clarity and contrast are way too high, at least for me.
These should be relaxing countryside scenes, but they make my eyesight feel dizzy.
Having that said, the other stuff, like composition, feels very good to me.

In that case, maybe go all the way to paint
