Some constructive feedback:
-In some of them the background and particularly text feels like part of the story and the composition, and in some (3 esp) the little bits of text and background feel more like an afterthought or accident. Text in frame is always something that can pull the eye, and masters of street photography almost always use it in a very deliberate way. See: Robert Frank
-I think you could improve some with some more work on dodging and burning, and perhaps adjusting the heavy vignette. The very large bright white in 3 pulls my eye from subject, to a lesser extent in 4, and in some the vignette is very pronounced to the point where I pay attention to it. Also in the second shot I think darkening the hand some relative to the face might pull me in to the eyes more.
