My favorite is the second (first "eye" image) followed by the first and sixth, in that order. They are a good set.
For the second image, in Photoshop, I'd suggest some sharpening. At a guess, perhaps Smart Sharpen of up to 100% at about 0.3 pixels, to remove gaussian blur. Personally, I'd probably over do it by using the clone tool to remove the shadow of the desk lamp from the eye catch-light, but it may just be one of my idiosyncrasies. The other images may also benefit from some careful sharpening.
They are all interesting to a degree. The first is a nice B & W rendition. I like the color of the rest, I think. I can't be certain because you've posted images without their color space information. (In Photoshop that's normally saved in the file EXIF data when you save as a jpeg, but is not if you use the save for web option.) Without the color space info we can't be certain we view the images with the colors you intend. I like the colors if I assume you posted them in Adobe RGB color space. The color isn't quite as appealing if you intended to post them as the more common sRGB. In general I'd suggest if you work with your images in another color space, converting to sRGB before posting would be advantageous because not all viewers can properly display the wider Abobe RGB gamut. Obviously, if you handled the images to be sRGB, no conversion is needed.
Two other small suggestions: For the Photo Critique forum it helps to post a bit larger - perhaps 800 pixels on the longest side. Any larger makes viewing difficult for some readers and a smaller maximum, such as 640, makes it difficult to appreciate the image. Also, it's better to limit posts to one or two images at a time. Too many images in a post can make comment references confusing.
