I think they are strong images that illicit a strong emotional response. The first one could use a little less words. But it's not a big deal they will get people asking questions. Shock value is important in order to raise a public outcry: I really like them and I will share too. Thanks for making them I wish I knew how to do that.
It's not too hard once you spend a little time playing with it.
.
you can buy an easy photoshop program, or get a free one you'll be able to do this.

I use free paint program, but it doesn't have as many features as other programs.
Most programs have a bubble that shows up to guide the user.
Your laptop may come with paint as a freebie.
go on a picture and right click, save image to your pictures
Click on your pictures, right click on a photo, and see if paint comes up.
The right click tab will say "open with" and you can click on paint, or your photoshop program which has been installed on your system.
Once you open with paint or whatever photoshop you have installed, you can play with it.
Paint is basic and doesn't allow much playroom, but play with things and then save it by clicking the save button on the top left.
you can resize, by changing the number of pixels. Once you click save you can't go back and undo something.
Undo by clicking the undo, back arrow.
If you want to type info, click on the ''select'' icon. Click on transparent so the letters show up over the poster. (if you don't click on transparent you'll get an opaque background.)
then click on the "A" which gives you print. now take your cursor and drag it, it makes a square, you can make the square as big as you like. within that square you can type. a font screen shows up and you can change the size of print or font. You can change the color.
At the right and bottom of the picture is a little square box. If you drag your cursor over it, pull it down or to the left, a space will enlarge for you to type more words.
You can keep it white, or play with the paint can by clicking on a color and painting the space a new color.
Then print the words over top of it.
Save it to your pictures.
Go to sli.mg webpage which is an easy free picture storage, or imgr or whatever.
Save your photo, copy and paste the url share link on the slimg or imgr photo and paste it here for us to enjoy.
If you're serious about having fun with photoshop and want a good and easy system I really recommend going to your local store and picking the salesclerk brain as to which program will work best for you.
My friend takes photos and by using photoshops turns them into incredible works of art.
Thank you for taking the time to write this up I will look into this. Had no idea where to start, really appreciate it! Sounds like a potential hobby which I could use for some R&R
If you're looking at it as a real hobby I suggest buying a good and easy program.
It can be so relaxing once you get familiar with the photoshop program.
