Integrity

Great processing, the lighting conditions of such a river shot are always difficult! The mossy green mood gives a sensation of a long time span, which works very well for integrity. Finally it's a fantastic composition you could use as a textbook example! But enough praise, I don't like your font :p

I don't understand why you put your text so close to the picture, it feels somewhat unbalanced. But that's the only point I could find for nitpicking, the rest is perfect! I love your symmetrical composition and the color tones.

Feather

It's the straw which ruins the picture I think. As you said in your details, the feather has great texture and fantastic stripes. But the straw does considerably distract from it. It's the strongest in the bottom right corner because it is in the foreground and drags the eye away from the feather. Of course, like the other commenters said before me, you could diminish this effect with post-processing. But unless you are a photoshop god, it stays a weak composition.

Looks like the contrabass is made out of smoke! This is amazing and fits so well the spirit of the challenge. I hope it will win.

I wonder if there is a purpose to this wave, do you have to drive/walk up and down??? One purpose of course is being a subject for great pictures :)

The choice of black and white is clever and makes the hard shadows very aesthetic. Perfect!

UFO's on the road

It's not far from a truly great shot, but my feeling is that you wanted too many things here. The river shore is a great element of composition, but not at its best in this lighting. The car trails on the other hand are great in this light, but lose impact due to the distance.

Just a second is that a second second hand?

I like a lot the colour tones, especially on the metallic parts. Of course the subject perfectly meets the challenge from the technical point of view, but the price is a lack of originality.

The subject is uninteresting in my eyes. The way you present it however is great: I like the grainy look and the focus on the seconds hand is perfect!
