I leave it at this, there are some really solid photos in that series, great work. 4, 6, 10 (w/ a tigher crop), 12, and 13 standout. Drop your exposure a fuzz on 12, and also crop 5 tighter and thats a winner too. I don't want to crit all the others as there are simply too many.

4 is best by far

Had issues that day with the #12 was using the wife's 40D and shot too hot on a number of images. Luckily they are close and I can fix the JPG's. Shot 5 was with a 15 SIG fisheye and it came out well but as you said cropping would be better. I will do and load tomorrow to see how it looks.
