If anyone out there understands and/or appreciates dark conceptual art, I would love your feedback on these images. Please don't be mean. They are meant to be weird and more surreal. I want to approach galleries that sell this type of work but I'm unsure of what to send. Obviously I have a lot more but just picked a few I did recently. TIA
Three images from a day in the Valle de Pineta, Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, Huesca.
I know it's just variations on a theme. But thoughts on which one is better than another? Maybe I'm just overthinking?

Ady thrifted some faux fur and thought it'd be fun to shoot. She spend the afternoon with me and we shot several of her "furs". I hope you like this one.

Amateur here, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. Also, all of these are just my personal opinions.
#1) Pretty cool. Kinda hard to tell what's going on, but makes me think spiders/spiderwebs.
#2) This one is my least favorite for 2 reasons - the model's expression looks a little forced/fake, and the ribbon looks photoshopped in, especially near the mouth.
#3) My favorite of the bunch. The model's position looks correct, and the red/bloody ribbon is almost comical in a 'dark humor' kind of way. Also the most relatable.
#4) I like this one, but it's bothering me that they subject is just a bit off-center.
#5 and #7) These are the most fine-art ones to me. I can see them hanging on wall in some creepily-themed club or something.
#6) Scariest one - the blank expression, eyes, and cool toning make her look dead.
Thanks SO much for taking the time to comment. The first one is part of a series and she's in a cocoon but I really like the idea of spiderwebs-I have been messing around with it.
I have been criticized for having all my subjects in the center so I have been experimenting with crops. Think I will change this one.
I really appreciate the feedback!!
