#3 is very lovely. Great colors and a very peaceful feel. Not sure if it's totally straight, could be illusion.
#4 maybe try to straighten and at same time, remove item from upper left corner.
#2 doesn't do much for me. So many of same size/color rocks in foreground.

All four pictures are great I agree with removing or cropping out the upper left on four. If you are using Photoshop post processing I would suggest trying Topaz free trial plugin using (topaz detail 2) in the drop down menu play with the detail sliders. I believe you could give some depth and pop to all four scenes and add a little blue to the sky to 4.
I believe it can be plugged into lightroom also. but check.

I love the Oregon coast, especially the northern half. In fact, I think I have a similar pic to your first one taken around Yaquina Head Light.
Do you do post-processing? The first picture has good exposure on the sky and would also look nice with a little more light on the foreground rocks.
On #2, if you could have moved a bit more to the right while shooting at the same view, it looks like you would have had a nice lead-in line with the stream/finger of water. As is, the foreground doesn't draw the eye into the scene.
#3 is a lovely vista. (Feels like it might be a tad off kilter?) The placement of the surf coming from the bottom right does a good job of drawing you into the scene!
#4 has unrecoverable lost detail in the sky (and vignetting from the lens rim). Better to underexpose on that one. Also, were you using a polarizer? Seems both #3 and #4 would have benefitted from a CPL filter.
That said, I am only an amatuer and seek advice quite a bit myself. Hope I've given you some points to ponder.
