OK, very beautiful work... again!
I do have some thoughts, however.
#1. I love the lighting and composition, but I think her expression is waning. By her smile, she looks like she's tired of you and forcing a smile.
#2. I really think you needed that extra depth of field, the dog is a very important part of the story; but it's blurry clear to its far eyebrow. I think the hands could be a stronger portion of the image as well if they were sharp. Oh, and the highlight on the tip of her nose.
#3. Too... suspense-thriller look to me. I don't get the feeling of grungy or cool, just that there is someone in a mask with an ice pick is sneaking up behind her. Honestly, I think the green color cast could be the culprit, I would try another color treatment.
#4. Beautiful! But I think either her waist has been 'pinched' just slightly too much (even for your style, and you know I don't mind that). You might also try to take a little bit of the 'balloon' shape out of her torso so there is a better transition into her waist line.
#5. This is probably my favorite of the series, but I'm used to being the outsider. Two picks, she is looking too far to her side and showing so much of the whites of her eyes that you almost lose the irises, and her left hand seems to come out of nowhere (but that doesn't bother me too bad).
#6. Nope, this is definitely my favorite one of the series! I see an image like this and I want to go hit on her, and then run from the fiance' of course.
They are all stellar, so don't take this like I'm saying I could do anywhere near as good; but they do say it's easiest to be a critic.
