I like candid shots. their non-posed expressions seem to give a glimpse into their inner thoughts (or no thoughts at all, as in just being in the moment).
I really enjoyed these candids and the variety of character and the moments captured.
Processing is great and adds character of its own. You really make those eyes pop in a few.........#10 is wicked!
#4 looks like shot from long ago, #9 beauty without all the fuss, a natural.
These are great, I have looked at them several times. You got my vote
Very nice overall and your B+W processing is great. I can't decide if the eyes are overdone on some of them? They really pop but I'm wondering if it's too much. Is this 50mm or so? You get nice separation without feeling like you are spying on these people from a distance.

ah well, such is the life of a street photographer
very good catch! I just fixed and replaced the image.
That is absolutely one of my failings, to fix distracting elements. I need to spend more time looking for them. Thanks for letting me know!!!
Very nice work! And proof that UV is damaging to the skin.
Agreed with the other comments on the amount of processing - sometimes less is more, especially on the eyes.
I see from the EXIF 85mm lens used. Did any of the subjects object? Were they aware of that you were taking the photos? Did you tell them after? Do you know the subjects?
Please consider including more the background in a future set to provide some character of the Keys. The combination of people and the interesting location would really put it over the top!
