My apologies to the original poster.  I was way too harsh in saying there is nothing good to say.  First- kudos for getting out there and trying.  Street photography is very hard, and even very good street photographers come home from a few hours on the street with nothing compelling to show for their efforts.  The biggest challenge is in brutally culling your images.  Your goal is to capture interesting moments- engaging gestures- juxtopositions that engage the viewer- beautiful light and shadow- emotion and connection.

You clearly have a decent understanding of your camera so that is a great start. Your images are well exposed, and the first photo shows some interesting framing.  I stand by my belief that it is better to not consider this existing set of shots as portraits though.  But ultimately that decision is yours.  Happy shooting.
