Great vision on these. I looked at #2 right side up and think it works better. There is still plenty of symbolism in that shot without having to flip it over; especially as a set where the first photo is rotated it becomes a little much (IMO). Nicely captured.
I'm not a fan of street shooting, but I really like the last one ... even with your refection. To make it more interesting, instead of struggling to clone yourself out, make it look like you have something other than a camera in your hands? Just a thought.

Presuming you are talking about photo n2, that is not my reflection.
That is a random person passing by doing their own thing, i had a few without his reflection, but ended up prefering the one where his reflection and his camera shows.
IMO, this ties into the concept. An outside observer, of abstract nature, looking into a world outside of his own.
Thanks for the all the comments guys, i definitely expected some debate whether or not to flip, i am glad that people are now questionning themselfs and asking if the picture should be flipped or not, i like the option of being able to think outside the box, even if sometimes i may not choose to do it, i can see how some would prefer these unflipped.
