#1 is killer. The composition with the street lamps is spot on. The only thing I would do is get rid of some shine/glare on their faces. It will make it look less strobed IMO. Nice work Pham!

I've just spent 5 minutes looking at these... they are really good!
I think the weakest is #5 but I'd be happy to have taken any of them.
Brilliant!

cheers

Do you have lightroom? I typically do it there, painting over the area, and lowering the clarity and sharpness. It seems to keep it fairly natural for me while smoothing hot spots.

I dunno man, Maybe these just struck me more than your other work recently...

For face shine, I usually use the clone brush at a very low opacity, like 7-10% and clone over the shine with some other similar skin tones in the area.
