All of them but the third look soft/out of focus to me. Perhaps try some sharpening in Photoshop?
Off to a good start!
#1 is a good shot but a bit flat and soft as mentioned before. Needs some more contrast.
#2 Too much contrast on this one - most of the face is blown out.
#3 Very solid, I like this shot a lot.
#4 Probably my favorite overall. A great shot, just could use a tad bit of sharpening.
I think you're looking at them far too critiquely. None of them are out of focus, just a little soft. If you'd show them to the average person they would not say anything about the focus. You can tell what you're looking at.
I don't like the blown highlights in #2 - that just jumps out at me.
