Opinions And Critiques Wanted........

Hey all. I could use your help please! I’m going to be entering a competition next week and I’m not sure what I want to enter. I’ve been looking through some of my recent work and I could use some extra eyes and opinions on which ones are good enough to enter. I have not done any final tweaking on them, so I can change them a bit if needed. It doesn’t matter if you are a photographer or not. Just tell me which ones you like and why. And please don’t be shy about the critiques. I’ve got a pretty thick skin and as long as you are honest with your comments, I will take them constructively. One other thing: In case somebody is wondering, I have not replaced any of the backgrounds on any of these images. The background was dark to begin with and I used the sliders in Lightroom for the rest.
So, what do you like??????
