Wow - I really like this technique and my special picture here is the third one.
Thanks for suggestions guys...I'm new at Photoshop, still trying to learn the basics, so here is my novice attempt at correcting some of the things you listed.
I cloned out the cloud spots and straightened/slightly cropped #1 & #2, and
reduced the saturation in #2.
Haven't figured out how to reduce vignetting just yet...
There sure seems to be quite a learning curve involved with using Photoshop...
Thanks again...Do these edited ones look any better?...

They look better to me! Nice job for a 'learner' ;)
Welcome to the forum and what a great start!
These images are very striking and i like them all.
My main nit would be the leaning quality of shot 1. IMO it should either lean big time like in shot 4, or be corrected.
Still, even the way it currently is, it's making my eyes happy.
Hope that helps - Marko
Much better. I aggreed with the original comments that #1 needed to be straightened and the spot in the last one was distracting. Well done.
