The yellows, tans, browns,and blacks work very well in this set. The red, perhaps, doesn't belong, but it and the mostly yellow (is that an out-of-focus hand?) add needed variety.
The strongest, in terms of composition, is the one with the feet, although I think it could be stronger if the feet weren't recognizable - because the viewer knows what they are, it is harder to accept them as out of focus. But, I like it because it the soft colors and range of brightness create a comfortable mood. The composition, with 4 quadrants a bit off-center, is also well-balanced.
The gear is the weakest - just a monochrome image. The gear, itself, needs to have the highlight instead of the piece at the top.
The two key images (funny how "keys" applies both to the finger pads and the actual type levers) are challenging to the eyes. They both have interesting motion, but the point of focus doesn't seem to work. It invites the eye to look closely, but the focused element is not quite interesting enough. On the type levers, perhaps having the focus closer to the viewer. On the finger pads, the 'x' is almost there. Just like with the feet, you may better off with nothing in focus if you can't get a solidly-focused element.
You clearly worked hard at these, and have suggested some exploration for myself and others to try. I hope I've been able to give you additional approaches to try yourself.

Nice. I like it. I can't tell what the actual object is, but the pictures have nice shades and angles to them.
