I like the first plus the last 3 of your set. The first has a nice surreal quality to it from it being hdr. The fact that you can only see the girls back adds a little mystery. Pity she wasn't focused on a more interesting subject though.

Like the way you have caught the action of the guy with the skateboard. This almost looks hdr too - maybe its my eyes. Have you made a copy of 3 different exposures from a single RAW image with this shot by any chance? Or is it simply finished in photoshop or equivalent?

Really cool photoshop trickery with the last two - would like to know how you did the mirror shot?

First one is nice, maybe a little to much edited to my taste but is ok.

4 th and 6th: just awesome

7th: the background is really bad. The frame looks too crowded.

photo manipulations are cool.

Well done

thanks for the short review, i really appreciate it.

in the skateboard picture i just added alot of burning to small parts of the picture, i sharpened it and made alot of layers of different colors to go over it as well as changing the lighting.

i wish the background would have been better but its a good skate pose.

and on the mirror shot, it was extremely tricky to do. i had to think for about half an hour on how to do it.

i took the first picture of me in front of the mirror. the second one i just took a regular picture in the same clothes in a pulling position.

there really wasnt any trick, just pasting myself into the mirror, getting the positions and lighting right was very hard to do. it took me atleast 5 tries
