It looks like you over saturated the colors to me. They look unrealistic

 

[MissCream]

I agree, they also look a bit under exposed and way too much vignetting.

i personally think they look really nice, but then i like colour too much (if thats possible), so oversaturated to my eyes is fine, just not when they ruin the image quality (which doesnt look to have happened here) so well done

PS: Number 2 and 3 are by far my fav

 

[EllasMama]

Maybe I should have not used the circular polarizer filter? I didn't do anything PP except raised the blacks a TINY bit and add a bit of lens vignetting.

 

[MissCream]

I would have used the CP filter, try decreasing the blacks a bit, that might help

Second one is kick ass...

I also like the last one but it has some blotchy issues in the sky and a dark halo around the balloon which hurt the shot/distract.

I edited the 2nd one for fun (added grit I guess you'd say). It's a strong shot and you could edit it a bunch of different ways. It even looks kind of cool in black and white.

The last one looks like a ink commercial from Epson
