I´m a little bit surprised about this message. Tool was used as required. Ok, I edited the pictures for exposure as main use but it should be ok on the web with this editing, too. Are you using a calibrated display??
You admit yourself to using the tool - it serves only to give a picture an unnatural haloing and artificial look. The second Typhoon is especially affected, and there are noticeable halos around the Bo-105 rotors.
And yes, my monitor is perfectly calibrated.
Sorry if people can't take constructive criticism, but parrotting "nice pics" at every thread does no-one any favours.
Sunsets are good - and they are all sharp captures, just let down by the post-processing.
