Lovely stuff!
I like the shallow DOF on 1 & 4. Less so on 7, where moving the focal
plane forward would, I think, look better, and 10, where both moving the
plane forward and greater DOF would make it look better to my eye.
I'd also try seeing how 7, 8 & 10 look with at least some of the bottom
cropped off. The way you nailed the focus on 8, I think it would look
great cropped to a horizontal, so the lovely detail is highlighted.

I love 4, but I like it even better with some of the tonal detail in the
highlights revealed and just a touch of sharpening at display size.

2 and 3 aren't bad at the Zoto display size, but illustrate that
back-focus is not solely the province of AF. ;-) Composition is fine,
but they are too OOF for me at larger size.
