Oh dear! Those dragon boats are suuuper looong! I have photographed a dragon boat race before, but those boats fit 20+1 people - never as many as THESE do! Wow.

I like 3, which shows the shape of the boat and not only rows of people on water, and I like the panning photo (last - so far). Nicely done.

Your last three are good. The 6 and 8 could use a little less contrast and 7 could use a touch more.

The rest in your first post all have potential but all suffer from poor editing. Weird colors, too much contrast. #4 looks like it's a small crop from a much larger area and loses sharpness because of it. You missed some spots on the fake panning in #5. The worst spots are around the life jacket and the front of the boat.
