Another HDR. This time much stronger aiming for the slightly surreal effect to make the steam roller stand out and more interesting. The background trees are annoying but I don't know how to fix it (apart from cutting down the trees which is not realistic :) It looks like there is a lot of noise but on close inspection there is none. The center green paint is very smooth. The rest is just very rusty. I know some people hate non-natural HDR so 5.5 will be a good score, I think.

Spot on - around 5.6

Might even make highest 9 with over 5.69!
On the PP - if I increased contrast I would lose details so I don't know what to do about that one?

The perfect candidate for some tonemapping and HDR...although feel it's resulted in a slightly painterly look, so gave this a 6 instead of a 7. Perhaps that was what you were going for? If this isn't HDR, and I've interpreted this incorrectly, my sincerest apologies!
Quite a capture. Well spotted. Colors and tones are great. I honestly would have gone a bit more contrasty and darker, but that's my personal preference and this is done quite well.
