Wow! First 2 plus the last are just plain amazing. Sharp, perfect, great vision. The last is a huge win.
On 3, I see where you were going, but I don't like the harsh light on the face, and I think a shallower DOF would have made it lots better. Number 4 doesn't really do anything special for me. Not bad, just kind of meh....
#3, the symetry doesn't work for me. Should be better from my POV if you sightly shoot him from a lower position and with the top of the head near the top of the picture
#4 the white background is distracting from his face expression
#5, not sure about the DOF. Should all the face be sharp, or only eyes, but here you take an half choice
I agree with most of the choices, but good work all around. #5 has that unusual perspective, but I like #4 even more.
In #3, a centered shot, I think you should have made it exactly centered. Let's see the doorway on the other side too.
Not a photographic comment, but - boy does he exude a different look when you compare his smile shots to the serious ones.
Considering the bright sun, these is even more impressive.

Yes, I noticed that. I definitely prefer the smiles
