    Hey Josh. I really like #4...that works real well. All of these need color correction and some black point pop. You may find upping the exposure a tad using the curves layer at the same time will make these stand out a bit better.

    As mentioned the skin tones in every photo are different to some extent... some too magenta some too green and some just missing contrast.

    Usually for business work you see a lot of hard light and it seems more soft in these.

    I would really love #3 but it's too dark for my taste. Maybe a levels adjustment than curves to bring back some of the lost shadow detail. Out of this bunch #4 is the strongest and a proud photo indeed. It's one issue is the skin tones seem a little yellow and magenta on my calibrated monitor, but I don't know what the reference is.

    A combination of a suite from #4 and the rest from #7 would be the total winner in my eyes...

    The first two watch you bkgs (something I always struggle with this in the heat of the moment) there are objects that pull you eye away from the subject. In #2 maybe you should have centered his head in the framing behind his head. #4 is nice because you related what he does to him but in all the outside ones he has racoon eyes due to not enough light in them. A reflector to bounce light back into his eyes would have helped these alot.
