1,2,3, five. Like the distinctive drawing in all of them. 4 has to much shadows on the eyes.

3 reminds of a Perry Rhodan starship class which has landed there. (Perry Rhodan).

Thank you. Should I pull the shadows? ISO64 allows for a very long pull...

I did some shopping on these photos ... Color Efx was not as stable today as Silver Efx ... I will keep watching this!

the colour saturation and sharpness are quite outstanding with this lens. Mongo assumes it is the new 105. the separation (DOF) is dream-like and great. The whole rendition is quite beautiful.

Your portraits have a focusing issue.

Look up close at the bulge on the camera strap on his left and the scarf v his eyes.
In the first picture look at his watch strap.

It is either a focus issue or front focusing issue.

While the colors, saturation and great separation between the subject and the out of focus areas are present, I still cannot get over the bad bokeh in the two images of the 1st set of the photographer.
In the upper right hand side of both images you will see nasty swirl and cats-eye higlights that really put me off. For the size, weight, and price, I would expect much better rendition of the out of focus background.

I agree with Ethan, the pictures of the "photographer" are lacking sharpness; there is also too much headroom to my taste. 

The picture I like is the one of the guy in the food shop; again, I have difficulties with the composition.  I would also have slightly adjusted the brightness of his face.

An unsollicited re-edit; which I dump at the first request:
