The key is consistency and context. If you can show a number of pictures in a similar style that exhibit obivious control over the technique, then your viewers will leave with a definite impression of what you can do.

I suggest you create one gallery for your highly manipulated images, another for your more traditional portraits (like Brainiac's Daughter and steph1); another for abstract images like the fragmentary nude, and another for the very avant-garde people shots.

However, if you are really interested in making a living as a photographer, you need to pick a couple of these areas (at most) and concentrate on them. (Keep experimenting and stretching your skills, but don't post a style until you have a true portfolio.)

And you are going to have to solve the problem of getting good representations of your work on the internet - otherwise it's only counterproductive to post them.
