Composite Images for Critique

So, for the past few weeks we've been working on our "cutting stuff out" as well as other basic Photoshop skills.  These were to culminate in 5 composite works with specific parameters that would then be critiqued.  Below are those five images.

Of these five I am probably most proud of the last one.  You might need to see the original to notice just what is different.  I had to use all of the skills learned in this class so far (and maybe a few I had picked up through earlier encounters with Photoshop) to update Sam with a more contemporary gesture.
