I like the pose and feel of this portrait. I wish his eyes were not quite so soft. Looks like the focal point fell around the beard and necklace area. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
Dynamic shot. Too centered on his cheek for my taste though. Cropped just right of the crucifix would make a better image and bring my focus to his eye methinks. 7 nonetheless
The picture seems sharp in some place and blurred in other and it does not seem to have to do with the DOF. No idea what you did there, but I don't like it, sorry.
