My thoughts:

In the first 3 I'd like to see more detail in the center. It's just black. My favorite of the three is #2 because of your composition mostly. I don't like the shallow dof in #3 either.

Between 4 & 5 I prefer the composition and focus in #4. #5 is focused on the left bottom corner and loses focus from there and I'm not sure why you wanted to draw the eye there.

#6 is too dark for my taste. I don't like the black and white background either.

#7 is okay, but the background is too much for me.

#8 I think is your best image here.

Happy shooting!!!

I'll take #6 if you can boost the mid-tones and bring the flower out more (though the white blob at bottom right is gonna be tough to fix). Boost color sat and sharpness too.
