I want to get better at editing though, so do you have any tips? :)

They look good, but the contrasts in the first one is a little rough. I think the rest of the editing looks fine tough. The thing that bothers me a little is how you compose your images. They are very dead center. You should try shooting with the "rule of thirds". Google it if you don't know what it is. :)

The first one is kind of cool. i like the coloring. the contrast is way to far up there though, like martin said.

The second on is okay, I'm curious how you got so close, I'm sure you zoomed a lot, but you'd have to be very close to get shots like those.

Third one. I've never been a fan of selective coloring. You might want to clean up his head though on the edges its a bit gray from where you masked it out.

PP wise, you might want to try adding some photo filters and stuff. I like to add vignetting on a lot of my photos, but that's kind of a personal thing. Also i would try not to get into the habbit of using it, because i use it way too much now and i have a hard time knowing when it's too much.

I think most is said.
So i'll just say: very good job^^
