    Mike - in the future could you please number or title the images and space them out. It makes it easier for people to see and comment on them. I've done that now.

    Image 1 is the strongest of the group. This comes about through a combination of the use of the smoke that nicely wraps around the back and the facial makeup.

    Image 2 is strong as well, but with the gelled light hitting your subject's arms and hand, flagging the light would have made some difference here. The crop could be bit tighter on the top and the dark element intruding along the top of the image is a bit distracting.

    Image 3 - the pixelization in the sky is not something one would want in a shot like this. The large moon and silhouette of the witch don't really seem to fit with the mood of the rest of the shot.

    Neat set of images. I also like @1 the best but, wonder if a bit of color on her chest and hand might not increase the "spooky" look to the portrait.

    MOD COMMENT: Your edit was subtle Richard and I felt it useful to have the original 'next' to this one to allow switching between them in LyteBox at CiC. Dave

    IMO, everything in this image works but, the standout feature are Cheyenne's remarkable eyes...

    #3 is a great fun idea, Mike.

    The sensor dust problem is once again very noticeable in the sky. I think I would crop out that short bit of rail in the bottom left corner which is just causing distraction. Maybe make the moon and witch a fraction smaller? Possibly a tiny bit more to the left? I suspect that would be more in keeping with the scale of everything else and make them almost believable.

    Really like #1 Mike, even more so with Richard's edit.

    Well done,
    Dave

    PS
    Can I ask what you used to generate the smoke?
