OK, now that I've been able to survey these photos on a more decent computer, I
can now make some additional and more specific comments:
You can probably surmise from my first comment that I was pretty incensed by the
whole association of myself with incense. But I should further point out that I
do not make a habit of wearing sunglasses, and I like to remain clean-shaven at
all times. Clearly the Reich has picked up the wrong hippy.
Now that this matter has been straightened out, I gotta say that this a damn
fine layout you've constructed, Keith. And I thoroughly enjoyed the overly
defensive tone of your accompanying comments.
Onto the specific photos...

This photo is my favorite of the bunch. Here we get a minifig's-eye view of the
platoon of troops scrambling through the swamp, as if we're running close
behind. The focus of the shot is perfect, and because there are no non-LEGO
elements in the frame, the illusion of looking into an all-LEGO universe is
maintained.
Also, Brotha-Tron is awesome.

This one works nearly as well for the same reasons. And I love the contrast of
the expressions on the faces of the two troops.

Random detail: I really like the look of the 1x2 grates set vertically on their
sides in the water here.

This is a beautiful shot of the mecha. Again, crisp focus, and a minifig's
eye-view make it look particularly fearsome and cool. The yellow sky is odd,
but at least consistent.

This overview works well, with nothing but LEGO in frame.

Great focus and lighting on this one (your favorite of the bunch). Those
supports look great under the monorail.

Love the two Reich members casually munching on pizza and spectating the doomed
attack on Station 62. Again the focus here is spot-on.

Hot damn, that's a beautiful weapon. Glad it got the focus it deserves in this
photo.
I'd agree with a comment made above, that it would be great to see you do a
series of photos that tell a story. You certainly get the sense of a story in
these photos, but it's all from one moment frozen in time. A continuing
storyline would allow you to really develop the mythos surrounding the Riech,
the separatists, and um, the hippies and stuff.
Great work!
