Yes, agree with other comments that your images have too much contrast and sharpness applied. They are though good shots, just the PP is overdone in my opinion,'
I like the composition of the shots, but I also think that they were over processed. Try backing off on the contrast and sharpening and I think that you will get better results. The noise, especially evident in #2, can also be caused by over sharpening. The images could also be a little lighter/brighter as well.
Are you sharpening the original size and then resharpening after you resize them smaller? The last step I do when post processing is to sharpen. After I save the full-size image, I will delete the sharpening step before I close the image and then resize for web presentation. After resizing for the web, I will then sharpen the resized image. The resized image normally only requires 1/4 to 1/2 of the sharpening of the full-size image.
I hope this helps.
