very nice looking work, are you putting them on a flow bench to see where they are at?

Those look great, do they flow great. I'd guess from your other posts that they probably do. Are you going to put them on a bench?

Port entrance looks barrel shaped...is that intentional or just an illusion?

Noticed that as well, thinking it may have been the camera or something?

I've never seen it done that way though, but if so, I'm curious why one would take that route rather than a more traditional approach.

They are pretty pictures, but it is truly impossible to tell what you have achieved without measuring the the results. A velocity wand will tell you if you removed material in the right places. And, just as important, a flow bench will tell you if you have achieved the port to port consistency that is necessary to maximize the tune.

The problem with hand port jobs, without a flow bench and velocity wand, is that they don't guarantee the port to port consistency of a CNC port job.
