I am not quite sure with the editing of the first one, I mean I like the b&w mode, but the mood isn't there yet. And I'd like my photos to transmit a special mood. What do you think?

Edit: I just added a third photo, so sorry for the title.

    NPO (non-professional opinion): I don't get the first one. I can tell it is a clown nose, but she is so stiff and the lighting so dark, I'm not sure what to make of it, mood or otherwise. Sorry.

    Second one is neat, sort of a pulling you in/casting a spell sort of image. The grain on the hands works for me. When I look at it, there are some wierd noise patters on her forehead and cheek, I have no idea where those would be coming from, perhaps something in PP?

    I like the last one. It has a good composition (IMO), and she exudes that sense of taking it in emotionally. The clouds gathering are a great backgrop here. I'd clean up the couple loose threads on the far left if you can since her pose and everything else about her says 'clean lines'.

    My 1-cent.
