one important thing is to not be afraid of contrast. it's fine if the banner is not a single colour or brightness. i'm telling you this because most of your banners are looking flat - lacking depth - when the stock images imply that there should be some type of depth.

example 1 look at the trees, they're in the background. if you blur and/or darken it, you'll have a nice depth. (it's a simple and easy way of achieving depth)
example 2 you have brightened it so much, that the nice contrast between the red and blue dissapears. i don't fully unterstand colouring myself but i do know that generally speaking red is warm and blue is cold and that you have, by brightening it, lost that. also, darker spots that make the red 'pop out', like the dark hair of the girl, have turned blue, what i think is an important reason why the colours in your edit feel imbalanced.

another important thing is to not slap on text. putting in extra time to make your text feel natural and complementary to the rest of the banner can make your banner look that much cooler. a good tip is to work with the overrall direction of the banner, 'the flow'.

another thing you might be interested in is the rule of thirds. (google it if you are)

don't take my word for anything i said, what i posted here only comes from my personal limited experience. i don't claim to be an expert, or knowledgeable, or pro, or even anything at all.
 
They're not bad. Really the biggest problem is the lack of a focal point in them. The render is there, but there's nothing to draw the viewer's focus to the render. More warmer and brighter colors (or just brighter in general if warmer colors aren't an option) should be used closer to the focal point of the tag and in general the render could stand to be a bit sharper. The text is also kind of haphazard in the last two. Works rather well in the third one though.
