I'm in the minority here, but in my opinion, your original images have more appeal than the ones with the lightened foregrounds.

Vista,

You are entirely correct in that it is a matter of taste.  I'm not sure if I would have lightened the foreground as I talked about.  It all depends.  I have shot as bazillion landscapes like that and sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.  One of the problems with post processing as that we (certainly I am guilty of this) often over-process images, or just automatically lift shadows that don't need to be lifted.

It is a judgement call concerning what you like and what is appealing.
