These are so creative and cool. Very interesting techniques and ideas. I really like them all. Great work! I agree #4 does remind me of the movie "The Ring" as well.

I really like your postprocessing work.
Darind, out of the box yet with a good taste.
I think the third brings me memories of works from Rene Magritte. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images. His intended goal for his work was to challenge the observer's preconditioned perceptions of reality and force the viewer to become hypersensitive to their surroundings (quote extracted from the wikipedia).
That art is very difficult to achieve.
I think you did great!
I'd like to see more.

Talking

Dayna: Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you like them!

Carl911 + mstark70: Lol, i'm glad you find the 4th one creepy. I wanted to imply that there was something being held back, or silenced...repressed emotions and opinions. At the time I was very unsure of myself, and was a bit of a recluse, afraid to say what i wanted to say or be who i really was. Thank goodness that's changed!

Botul: Thank you so much, i love the whole editing process!

Flavio: Thank you very much. Yeah, I know the work of Rene Magritte. I've never made that connection before but now you've said it, i can see it slightly! lol. I have more photos on my flickr if you're interested...
