Welcome, Erik!  I love your people photos and you seem to have a good eye
for composition.  I would delete the ones that are not in focus, though.
 They detract from the really good ones.  As Ted told me once, "You can put
an out of focus photo away in a drawer and wait several years and the next
time you look at it, it will still be out of focus.  Just get rid of it!"

Hope this helps!

Tina
