Looks good. No obvious distortion, fringing etc. Does it make phone calls?

This one's my preference. Smaller field of view is neither here nor there but the cactus flower has noticeable pop and presence. I presume you got in ahead of the "tariffs" being passed on to consumers?

One for you to identify. I do like shots like this that show the bird's outspread wings.

Interesting again how the visibility of the light dome diminishes so steeply. Large number of stars in the dark areas, and faint evidence of the Milky Way. I thought the string of lights lower left was a plane but there's no sign of navigation lights (red/green) - wondering if it's a short string of Musk's satellites. There's a fainter one lower down too.

Your Seestar?

That's a dramatic light gradient! Heaps of stars at the top, but the bright cloud suggest not too long since sunset. Have you added yellow in post or otherwise tamed the cloud mass?

Hard to choose between these two. 4sec is always "prefereable" to 6sec but at cost of higher ISO. It still looks pretty clean and the smaller aperture has reduced the coma in the upper corners. Were you using Astrotracer? Apply NR in post?
Plenty of stars recorded - it looks like good quality sky despite reflected light from the clouds.
