why do you put a halo around your subjects?

Obviously HDR probably done in Photomatix?

Oh wow - you've got some nice concepts going here with the taped-up person and the skull man.

I think I like the fourth one the best, because the subject is clearly defined, there's a message communicated, a nice atmosphere. For the first one, you might consider making the people taping up the guy in the center darker because at first, I didn't even see the guy in the center - my attention was drawn by the brighter subjects. The guy in the back - his chain - is a bit distracting, so you may want to tone that down a bit, maybe brighten the guy in the middle being taped up so that he looks more like the focus of the picture, and darken the guys around him. The fourth one - you could mess around with the framing a bit so that the guy isn't exactly in the middle; maybe follow the rule of thirds? Just suggestions of course.
