Clever idea, and expressions on pigs seem almost sympathetic. I think it could benefit from additional sharpness and contrast--lighting a bit harsh.

Don't know that #7 was really lucky. :) The focus seems to be a touch soft, but I like the lighting you have used.

I'm thinking Shirley Jackson's The Lottery for some reason! This is has a slightly surreal air of menace to it - I mean this all as a compliment, I think it's a very fun shot!

I like the idea but a little more contrast and a tighter crop would have made it much stronger.
