Hi, Jonathan,
Welcome back!
I am not a guru, but since you asked, I'll give you some feedback.
Out of this set, I really like #3, would not change it except for the weird black dot under the cloud on the right side. Not sure if it is helicopter or sensor particle.
#1 needs some straightening and more contrast on foreground. Also, tree branch on the top left is just hanging there without really belonging to any tree. Including partial subjects into the frame generally needs to be avoided, especially when it is a strong, contrasty feature, such as in this case.
I like #2, but I would add some contrast - not by increasing it in final B&W image, but by processing each color differently on conversion stage. There is the same problem as with #1 - partial subject, but to lesser degree. Having the same "helicopter" in the same location makes me think your sensor needs cleaning.
Composition-wise, #4 is nice, but B&W conversion left trees and rocks at the same contrast/tone level, so it looks messy. Try to adjust luminosity on each color separately, that will help you to visually separate foreground from background.
Good luck shooting in New Year!
Sasha.
