The first two are so good! With Elvis as a cherry on top :)

The first image is very strong and, I think, timely.

My personal favorite is, as an image itself, #2.

Great ''glimpse' on the various series.  Agree with Akira on the Carnival Noir.

As expected a great series of images, and a cool titles for the projects (especially "And Now We Are Ghosts Only"). I am always exited when I see you have posted, and these three make me want to see more.

Hope you keep putting them up here!

Cheers

I forgot to mention that #2 reminded me of the movie "The Third Man".  So, the combination of the title of the series, the Ferris wheel and the overall tone of the image makes perfect sense!

Great images as well

#1 is to me the most interesting to me, I'm a bit puzzle with the processing, particularly why the ground is so dark, it really  works, just wondering if that is an overall filter or more localized burning, very very nice

I realize i have missed the very high contrast style, and the very compelling composition, thanks for sharing your images

Thanks to all for the responses.

Armando, the ground was very dark farmland.  A storm was approaching and as I raised the camera to shoot, a brief shaft of sunlight hit the crosses.  I then burned the ground even more in post processing to get the effect I wanted.
