Guys I fooled most of you and even if I'm not in the top ten, I'm quite satisfied :)

This is expert, but even the ones who guessed it, were not completely right: the original image was the girl and her reflection while I added myself afterwards in PS.

Johanna I was sure that that comment was yours, I don't know why. I wanna thank you for your sincere words: for me (I have been the director of many theater plays) is not easy to accept it, but on the other hand I like to know when something doesn't seem ok for the viewer.

Neat idea but the lighting lets it down in my opinion. Needed to have more light for a more dramatic effect.

It is a weird reflection, and I believe this is a setup REAL scene -- well done.

This is a very compelling shot - it drew me in and kept my attention right away.
I'd say it is a fake because there are some angles that don't look right, including her eyes.... she doesn't seem to be looking in the right spot.
In either case, I find it an interesting image.

I am going to say real, because I think it's real. I'll bet you took the first picture, framed it, then had her point at it for it for the photograph!! =)

Dark and ominous. A thriller. I say it's A.

Very interesting! I see a shadow under his hand and index finger that indicates the light is directly in front of him, while on the middle model, the light seems to be coming from her right side. Because of the highlights on her left shoulder that don't seem to be present in the foremost model, I think those are two different shots. Overall verdict: digitally composited. Still, this is well done and tells a very interesting story.

Two mirror/ interesting reflection images in this challenge! I'm voting p.shopped on this one. Perhaps it's my monitor, but there seems to be a difference in the two shades of red & the gent's jacket has super sharp edges. But an interesting concept...

Since invisible camera's do not exist ... I'm missing a part of the left arm of the guy, which, from the way he stands, should be visible in the reflection between her arm and her body. I think...

My guess is advanced.
Neat picture.

Not real but clever. The lighting on the edge of her shoulder doesn't match up.

A good idea. But these types of images really depend on "attitude" and acting from the models to pack a punch. I don't feel either of these is really in the moment or expressing any particular emotion (especially the male), so they look a bit posed and blank, and the result is a bit "empty".
