Welcome to the forum, love shot 2 the best.
Horizon on shot 1 is distracting crop is a little too tight on the right wing
Shot 2 there are a few hot areas, background could do with a little more blur.
3 is ok I think it would look better with a panoramic style crop.

Nicely done!

#3 is especially nice. Great detail.
