I think your most promising piece (the western guy) begs to be finished - if done well he could blow the other stuff away. As a whole though things are diverse and nicely presented, if a bit short of stunning. I would definitely remove the environment piece at the bottom, since you speak of cutting stuff - it only drags the rest down. Some of your characters could also have been laid out a bit better UV-wise, but that's nitpicking. So, finish that cowboy and make him great, then put him up front big and make more like him!
On top of what Rasmus pointed out, I would also suggest studying anatomy some more so you can really nail those sculpts man. It feels that your sculpts are lacking form and volume...dont hold back from pushing those forms further. Also your texture work looks nice, but would look a whole lot better if you just spent some more time on that area. I definitely agree that the western guy would be your strongest piece if you were to finish him. I do feel you could spend more time on the sculpt, however. It looks like you have your maps baked out for him already, but he definitely could use a little more TLC.
