The first two I am still working on the brushes I wish to add to them and decided not to post them. I will post it once I have finished placing them.
Connie – it is so much fun seeing these get wilder, and more successful! Some thoughts:
You have found a solution for the readability of your heading - it is very bold and sits “within” the composition.
Your logo is still disappearing – somehow more contrast is needed, even as it just sits in a blue sky. I like the logo as it is when it sits on a white background… but of course that can’t really happen in its present positions. So… what to do? One idea would be to change the hue of the logo enough to create a color contrast – moving it into the reds/purple spectrum. That alone might do it.
But here is another idea – what about widening the handle of the brush and placing it there - as if it was printed on the handle, or embossed a bit. Look at the hole in the handle now, and notice the shadow in the beveled area. You could keep the colors – you’d just need to widen the brush more.
More time spent on that would be well worth it, and the success of the campaign might hinge on your solution for that logo.
#1 – water reflection needs a bit of work. Look at water reflections, from a distance they usually don’t actually touch the object above the water and are distorted a bit. This is minor, so don’t spend a lot of time on that.
#2 – looks good, love the sun at top left.
#3 – Airplane could be larger, and coming into the scene bleeding off right. This doesn’t have to be realistic, that isn’t your concept… so make this composition more dynamic and exciting by placing a larger element up in that area.

Looking good – can’t wait to see these finished.
