I don't know, I think you got some pretty interesting clouds; at least it wasn't a clear sky... Very nice on all of them, but I think #1 is my favorite. On the first IR photo, you're getting some very interesting highlights of the leaves, which is neat and distracting all at the same time.

Love #2 and #3. The skies have a very cool look to them. I like the blueish tint in #3. I tend to leave mine with more of the rust tone.

Being from NYC, I am used to a grandiose skyline. Save for Chicago, Houston has a stunning skyline, I really like it. BTW, great shots (though I am not much of an fan of HDR).
