I agree that the thing that looks like a blurry oil rig doesn't help the last. 
I suspect that a simple recrop off the top, at about the current center line to 
put the jet skier at the lower right third would help with the last one.

I like the first shot a lot. Beautiful skyline pic. The others suffer from bad 
light. Not much you can do about that, except go back and shoot when the light 
is right. That would be about 6AM at Montrose Harbor:-).

I like colours in the first one but I agree with Jack that it might be
better as a panorama.  There just seems to be too much blank water in
the foreground despite the reflected light path.

I wasn't sure about the second one but after several viewings I find
that I really like it.  The symmetrical composition and high key
rendering works well.  I might be tempted to crop it slightly at the
bottom.

No. 3 also works well.  The bright colour of the shirt and the low
contrast background focuses attention to the foreground particularly
well.

The last one is my least favoured.  I don't think the blurred shape on

I like colours in the first one but I agree with Jack that it might be
better as a panorama.  There just seems to be too much blank water in
the foreground despite the reflected light path.

I wasn't sure about the second one but after several viewings I find

I like both of the long exposure shots.
And I do approve of the little 'arches' in the 2nd shot.
That's a rather nice picture with excellent commercial potential.
