Was there any HDR here? Or just a lot of editing with shadow/highlight/contrast?

No HDR, at all. I only did a bit of editing on them..actually just contrast and light.

OK, just wondering because #3 and #4 looked a little HDR-ish (if that's a word...)

If you look at the clock tower image, notice how there's a glow around the tower, as well as any other object that is against the sky. That's usually a good indication that you've gone a tad too far with the contrast/brightness adjustments. The colors also have lost some vibrancy because the shot looks underexposed.

It's a nice picture, please understand I'm not picking on it! But I'd love to see the unedited version of it and see what editing suggestions I could offer to get the look you really want.

The editing is pushed a little too hard on these. The halos around the objects in the sky is evidence of that as has been pointed out. Try processing and editing again with a little lighter touch on the editing.
