1, 5, and 8 are wonderful.

Maybe 9 instead of 8... I like the eye better on that one, but I don't like the pose/subject placement quite as much.

I do like how his head is faced in photo 9 but i like the stance he stands in photo 8 as well.. I also did some highlighting for photo 9.. I think i like the one on the bottom just a bit more then the top pic.
