If I were going to shoot that thing in full sunlight, I wouldn't want the big shadow on it on the first one. It looks great as a B&W, but the shadow detracts, especially being right in front where it's the first thing your eye sees.
I don't care much for 2 and 3, they just look like snapshots. The last three, personally, I would have squared up to them and shot them from straight on. That's my particular preference, but they don't really speak to me.
