Not too sure about that last shot, any critique welcome
I actually like the last one best. It's rather clear, not too many distracting elements, the focusing is nice, the main lines running towards the same point, not too busy.
The first one in contrast for me is a bit too busy with all those people, cars, waves, the child on the right trying to reach the waves. If it was just one or two fishermen with their rods and no cars I think I'd like it better.
I like the desaturated colours in all your photos, gives them a certain melancholic vibe
I wonder whether the Mountain in the first picture would gain from losing much of the grass in the foreground.
The second picture at first glance seemed rather busy. Perhaps a bit too much. At least that was my thought when I first saw it after you posted it. Now I'm not so sure anymore.
The third I really like, probably my favorite. Clear lines, clear focus on a large object in front.
The noise on the Highway picture I could do without. And I'm not entirely certain about the truck in the distance or what I presume to be your navigation system on the right half of the dashboard. But in general it's rather pleasant to look at.
Finally processed some more pictures from the summer.

To me Waterways is close, but something and I can't quite tell you what is missing.
Reflected is a really nice idea. Took me a second to realize what is actually going on there.
City Life does nothing for me I'm afraid. Just a rather ordinary street scene.
Venice at Night is close again. Perhaps if the silhouetted persons in front were to be a little more eye-grabbing by higher contrast and there were no non silhouetted people in the background it would grab me more.
The first few from a weekend in Hong Kong. Really fun place to shoot
I like the idea behind your second picture. But I think also showing the stairs at the bottom would benefit it. And I'm not the biggest fan of the building on the left. But the skyscraper in the back with the pink lights in the clouds, the scaffolded building on the right, the small winding road down towards the skyscraper with lit shops on both sides I do like a lot.
The third is my favorite, perhaps of all pictures I commented in this post. I like the colours and the contrast between cold blueish background and warm orange front, I like the action it depicts with the vendor working, the steam rising. What I just noticed and not like is the third arm that grows out of the shoulder of the man. But other than that, great.
I like the escalator, I like the J&S Shoes for pretty much the same reasons I like the food stand picture.
I think your first picture works better with colours than without.
