I love those vibrant colours! But I have a feeling that in some of your paintings, a lot of noisy contrast is taking away from the focal point.
Maybe it could help you to concentrate on putting sharp edges and high contrast (in value and colour) mainly where you want to lead the viewers eye.
Like in that painting with the crow that is landing. It seems to be about the crow, but those dark shadows of the tree on the ground take away from the attention it deserves. Putting softer edges on the shadow, using lighter values or using bigger and softer shapes might help with that.
I hope that helps a bit, and keep it up!
