Thanks, Kelly
"The most endangered species? The honest man!"
Seriously though, I think your lighting here is really looking good. And I like the pose in #6 a lot, though I might try composing it so that the open space is in front of him instead of behind him. I'm not too sure about the processing on #6 and #7, just not quite my style but you did a good job of getting a distinct effect.
Well, I'm just easy...I like them, all! #1 and #3 are my favorites, though I'd prefer that you clone out the reflection of the umbrella in his sunglasses? The one with the cord would fall into my favorites, if you cloned out the ugly green cord that you mentioned. What you are is so loud, I can't hear a word you say!
The only thing I would change is on the last two I would use the eraser brush at like 30-50% a little over the boys' bodies (or at least faces) to make them stand out a little more but the effect it still there 
I agree about 6 & 7 with the processing. Just throws it off .
I agree with CW about the reflection in the sunglasses. A slight adjustment to where he is looking should do the trick and eliminate the need for cloning it out.
