I like the images, but I think I would like them more with less post-processing.
My own bias is in favor of exaggeration only when I am convinced that it adds to the mood of the image.

But do keep trying. If you like them, you will some day find a techniques that feels just right for you. There are a couple of people who post often on this forum that post images that are far from "straight," and that work very well (even for a stubborn old mule like me).

No, from camera directly plus PS.

Well are you producing images that look the way you want them too? In the end that is all that matters unless you are being paid to shoot a brief. If you are doing them for your own pleasure then no one else's opinion is of relevance.
