So here a bit of critique i can offer :)
The values are all over the place, except for in the last one where you have a clearly defined background, something you should get used to early on is not using black anymore or make sure that it doe not show anymore in the final image.
When it comes to composition you should keep the rules of thirds in mind.
All the images are quite exhausting for the eye, I have no clue where to look first and what is the point of intrest. The extreme use of textured and special brushes isn't helping in that regard either.
The crimsondagger videos on youtube and the ones from fzd school always get into composition a great lot.
Study from reallife, why does your water always seem to be illuminated, why is the tree thicker on top than on the bottom and what's up with those leafs. Everything makes a rushed impression, which is the point of speedpaintings, i know. but sometimes it is worth taking time to do the studies first and then practice it under time constraints.
Greetings and have a nice day
