Here are some photo manipulations I've done over the years.
Stocks were found on various places such as dA, sxc.hu, etc. I don't take credit for the amazing stocks people have provided for tutorials, free use and such. I've used Photoshop CS5 for the last few years to do my manipulations. I've created a few of my own stocks too, but not anything substantial.

This has always just been a hobby that I've developed since I started on Neopets (where I learned to make graphics for users and guild layouts and shit). Surrealism really seems to be my main theme here haha.

Very nice. Can you post the originals just for contrast?

If I can find the original stocks in my folders, sure. 

Edit: @Adam

The original of the mermaid is already present. 

This is the original of the cyborg chick

The second photo manipulation was a compilation of three primary stock photos (background, water and hand), with smaller stocks - the orb, central park, and some textures. There was no full "original" picture.

This is the original of the room with the surreal painting

[Strategist]

Those are very cool! I just got back into doing some myself. Might make a thread showcasing what I have done lately. I would love to see more if you end up doing any!

[Fikri]

these are remarkable! love it.

[Grimley]

I love all of these but especially love the last one!

[Coops]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.   

@Kord The last one has my own stock photos (the snow and the scarf) in it, so that one is really special to me as well. My sister in law made the scarf for me. 

[Katya]

Woah! @Coops you've been hiding this talent for too long!

I demand more!

Last one is my favourite too, but I love the "finished product" of the mermaid.

Digital is really the only medium I have any skill with, to be honest.

You should take requests!

Nahhhh, I'm not that good. I wouldn't feel comfortable trading my craft for anything.

Do it for free, get some more practice, soak up all the positive and negative feedback and become 1 with the universe... Or just get a little better at it each time... >:3

Thanks! The Firescape one is from roughly 3 or 4 years ago? I'll try to find my other old ones. I am having trouble finding all my old PSD files.
