I've got to say, it was interesting to me at first, but I'm starting to get a little tired of the artificial lighting effects in all your people/landscape photos. Most of your images have a very similar mood and feel. It's beautiful manipulation, and very well done, but I'd like to see more diversity. Almost all of your P-net images showcase very similar applied lighting effects in one fashion or another. Some of your intimate portraits show you have other talents.
I agree with Marc, at first the photoshop/other software effects used are eye-catching and really add to the scenes presented, but the sheer number of your photographs which feature the exact same effects detracts majorly from them in the long run. I can well believe that light is more magical/transient/breathtaking in some parts of the world than others, but to claim that this is completely natural lighting, in all of your photographs, is something I cannot believe. Instead, you've got a fantastic post-processing talent in creating this photo-art, and you should be proud of that and not seek to cover up the work done. In suggesting it's not artificial, you detract from your work by making it seem false and something that you are not proud of having created.
