Lovely portraits - he does have an interesting face and you've captured the detail wonderfully. In the last one I'd prefer to have a touch more depth of field - it's nicely focussed but the thin plane of focus is a bit distracting. Still great though. 
Like the gumball shots too. The processing you used works really well on most of them, giving them a very vivid look - which let's face it, is what you want for photos of occasions like that.
@ Sam, earlier: cheers. It's from Beadnell on the Northumbrian coast. I just need to work out why exporting it to jpg with sRGB colour profile is losing so much richness in colour (especially greens) compared to the on-screen version within Lightroom - never noticed that happening before. :/
