I thought you did a terrific job with those. Under those conditions it is very hard to get something worth while going. Love the sun ray effect on the stone henge pic.
Unfortunately it was a disgusting day when i photographed Big Ben and Windsor castle.
good pick up on the dust!
I agree on HDR. HDR can look extremely artificial. But sometimes when there isn't the perfect light, and you dont have enough time, HDR can help - if you use it right. All my photos in the last few posts are HDR - i needed to use HDR so i can have multiple exposures - I basically use it as a substitute for grad ND filters.
They dont always have to look cartoonish.

I agree, like your vineyard pics HDR used sparingly can look great. I haven't used it much but out of curiosity dabbled with it a few times. I've done it by pulling a stop or two out of RAW images and using it subtlety. I was relieved of some expensive equipment in Spain including my grad ND filter hence playing around with HDR.
What setup were you using for the pics (camera, lens etc)?

Rottnest Island... what a great place!
thanks mate. Your photos are inspiring me to head to the Adelaide zoo! keep up the good work
Forgive my noob question, but what is HDR? Is it a setting on your camera, or do you edit the photo afterwards with a program like Photoshop?

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Our eyes are incredibly great at getting detail from a scene where there are bright and dark areas as they can change their sensitivity to these regions.
A camera on the other hand is quite limited with it's 'dynamic' range. So HDR is taking the same photo at different sensitivity ranges to capture the detail in the bright and dark regions, then combining them afterwards in a software app.
Territorian day today here in Darwin. I have never seen anything like it. It sounds like a war zone here. All afternoon there has been fireworks going off. After the main fireworks the whole bay lit up with the amateurs lining the beach having their go. It is quite awesome. My suburb is still a light with bangs, cracks and flashes.
Had my first crack at fireworks pics. Some of them come out alright.

I made a slide show with some of my pics from around Australia.
