The last shot on the dock is my favourite of this set. Kinda looks rotated down to the right a bit, so maybe fix that but otherwise it's great.

Great stuff.
1 - Doesn't work for me. Two subjects and the first is grossly out of focus. I understand the concept of this shot, but it doesn't quite work for me.
2 - What I love about these shots is the fun, kind-of pseudo-candid feel to all the shots. This shot has chemistry with the lens!
3 - meh... save it for facebook
4 - Cute but the pose and angle are awkward
5 - My favorite as well. This is a wonderful and fun shot, well framed and well executed. The PP works well here, just as the PP in #2 works well for that shot. Probably some nit-picks about the sole of the shoe and a little foreshortening of the leg, but so what. Awesome, awesome shot of Friendship.

Nope, have never tried micro adjusting my lenses on the 7D

Have to agree with everything GlimmerMan said. The first shot might have worker with only the one girl on the right in focus. Looks like you had a fun shoot.

These were shot at f2 which kinda helps with the sharpness
