Your photos remind me of the first minute of this classic American short film, so I'm just curious as if you have ever seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKAOs400ReY
The first two are pretty cool, except that the stalk running diagonally behind the subject is distracting. The third shot doesn't do anything for me, but I love the fourth. It's unfortunate that you cut off fingers in the fifth image because it's otherwise good. And the last shot is very nice.
Thank you yeah I was kind of disappointed about the fingers getting cutoff too. I think he leaped to far forward. I have not seent the film, but I will now.
The captured poses are very impressive but I find the backgrounds distracting. An open background or a shallower depth of field would have focused attention more on the subject. I think the b&w conversions help minimize the distraction to some degree.
