Your editing is not bad actually, just that automobile manipulation is not my taste actually. Anyway, keep it up! Next time, do create a new topic then share your photos so that people will find it easier to give you feedback.
 
I just realized I forget to put the "Before and After" Photos so that you guys can know how the original photos look like!

Feel free to drop me an email at info@davidhuy.com or check my website to receive some of my free Photoshop tutorials! I'm writing some of them now
 
The comic style suits some of the images, unfortunately I do not like that style on all the pictures. No criticism, because you did a good job, but I think you have the talent and skills to get more out of these images!

No worries, as human-being, we all have different personal tastes and I do understand that. Until one point of a time, we will find a style which distinguishes you from everybody else which makes people remember "Oh, this photo reminds me of Davidhuy's style". And I'm happy being different even though my style is not meant for everyone, especially those true-believers in the power of photography!

Please check my website, I have included some of the techniques that I used. Mainly dodge and burn and reduce noise filter!

Use Reduce Noise filter! For the setting, I think depends on your taste!

The photos are very interesting. The lighting for most of the photos seems to be pretty spot on, my only thing is no matter if its photography, manipulation, text...It needs to blend correctly and make you forget that its a manipulation. The first set of photos didn't really do that at all in my opinion. Especially the ones with the faces blurred beyond skin recognition. They just don't look real or blend with the pictures at all. A few of your last ones had major improvements though, like the one with the martial arts on the desert road, very nice.

I'd take more time and practice making the photos look more realistic.

But, welcome.


EDIT:
I just checked your website, and see like myself, you focus on photography. Dont take this as offense, but I assume you are a beginner because no photographer will blur their faces as you do it a lot of your photos. You need to keep the same skin tone while correcting the rest. I'm going to post a video showing how later today. I'm not saying I'm perfect in any sense, but I was told the same thing by someone else. I used to blur the faces to high hell just like yourself. But from a photography standpoint, it in no way is a good thing.

Thank you for your feedback. The first set was posted about a year ago. I know it's been a long journey, but guess what, as an old folk always said "Practice makes perfect", but in my case, "it makes better"
