I kinda like the feel of #2, but overall I find that especially in the first two pics, the grunge-style processing somewhat overpowers the subject matter. Those images simply aren't strong enough to stand up to this kind of pp treatment and in my eyes it's more distracting than enhancing the sentiment of the image.
The bottom two are cropped a bit too tight for my taste. I do like the expression in #4, but #3 is too soft and dark, I always want to see at least one eye when looking at somebody's portrait and that picture really doesn't give me any sense of the person I am looking at.
