The sharpest focus point is just beyond the baby's face, which is a shame;there also seems to be a slight colour caste thrown by the brim of the yellow hat. Nonetheless, a nice composition and a very sweet model!

I rarely find photographs of babies eating attractive, but that aside, the frame filling composition is effective.

Not the best of light for a portrait, and I do find the background rather distracting. That said, you have produced a portrait that is interesting and has some narrative to it.

Dad at 94

This makes for an interesting portrait, but would benefit from some further post-processing work. The tonal range is on the flat side, with little in the way of true blacks. Your Dad looks pretty amazing for 94, even in a hospital bed!

The light was not playing to your advantage here. The photo is fine as a record shot, but lacking something as a portrait.

Laughter

A happy smile, but a shame there isn't some eye contact with the viewer. I like the out of focus street cafe, adding some context to the shot.

Old Portrait

From the title I guess that you were trying to recreate the feel of a vintage photo. In terms of that aim this photo doesn't work for me - the colour caste is more pinkish than sepia and the clear modernity of the model doesn't match the style. As a portrait in terms of this challenge it has both pluses ad minuses: other than what I have already said, the soft focus on the face combined with the sharp focus on the ear-rings seems wrong, however I do like the composition,and also the stare of the model.

Self Portrait

i am not keen on this photo - the slotted blind behind you does little to compliment the portrait, and your pose looks rather uncomfortable, as thoug you didn't really want to be being photgraphed.

You have the basis of a super portrait here, but I suspectthat you got the exposure wrong in-camera. The tell tale processing signs, in particular the halo, are too visible.

A sweet looking child, it is a shame his eyes aren't a little more visible. Watch out for unwanted elements (in this case the post) creeping in to the frame and distracting the viewer.
