Great shots!

Since you asked for CC I will give some (don't take personally and feel free to disagree, just friendly suggestions):

I like the processing fine on the portraits, I like the colors. However, try not to crop so close to the head. Maybe take a big step back.

I find the watch shot a little bland, the reflection over the 8 is a bit distracting. It is a fine shot, just not that interesting.

The bus has some dead space in the upper right that doesn't really add much interest in the shot, so maybe pulling the camera down and to the left would help.

The last portrait, love his expression, nice depth of field. Just watch the hair.

Thanks for sharing,

Eric

I might be tempted to take an exception to that, in that, the "heads close to the top" rule applies mostly when the viewing medium is going to be prints. If the medium is the web, or instagram, none of the usual cropping rules need apply. For electronic media, I quite like the cropping as is.
