My reflection: your pictures have graduated backgrounds, the first are better than the last ones
I agree with Jean. The first three are good shots: a clear point of focus (point of interest, that is is) and backgrounds that don't overly distract. The fifth has a very distracting background. I am not certain what focus you intended in the fourth.
My fav is #1
Lovely images
ummm, yes. It's hard to be on Auto when shooting manual focus lenses on my Sony cameras.
