Wrong saddle and not enough resolution in the model's face, but a well composed shot looking really good in BW.

I don't know how limited your chances to move have been. According to my rough guess you might have had a chance to include the entire bike without cropping any part of Judy by shooting the pic in landscape orientation. With a bit of luck and backing away or lowering your POV, you could have included the lowest row of the flag's stars, to explain the striped background.

 

As it is the picture would make a mediocre magazine frontpage leaving space for text. Any other purpose doesn't justify croping the bike IMHO.

I like the upper part; the rest needn't be IMO.

Among the kind of concert pictures I'm usually hunting for I'd call it crap. - Out of focus, camera shake and so on. Why wasn't it taken in Landscape orientation to capture the keyboarder too? - Usually I'd also crop out the mike on the right. But it's color adds to the picture. The upper right part of the red wall in the background looks quite unnatural to me.

 

Although it has extremely low documentary value, it is a marvelous piece of Lomography which I'd like to pass frequently. I really love these internal reflections of a zoomlens through it. Without them I'd trash that pic.

Cute! - As a non human subject it can stand the blurred eyes somehow, but having them within DOF might be better. - I'd probably crop a bit on the right side, to get it out of the center. Missing the tip of it's left foot is also sad. - Portrait orientation next time? But thanks for sharing the picture and honestly envying congratulations.

The colors are a bit to enhanced IMHO - the water looks unnatural/handpainted too, but you spotted a nice scene as usual.

I love it and would like to hang a calendar in this style on my wall.

Rather good composition wise. - The burned out highlights and blooming street lanterns could maybe do with better lenses or complicated darkroomtechnique putting two exposures together to cope with the extreme contrast.

Congrats, you captured a quite decent couple of clouds above it. - OTOH the absence of a horizon line makes it hard to recognize the name giving feature. - Who knows how you held your camera? - Such well known and photographed to death buildings raised the standarts for stunning pictures up to the stars. It's close to impossible to compete with local pros as a tourist.

Great composition / idea and excellent bear choice. Did you soften the childs head? - I'd be reluctant to do so but that's just MHO.

You might be close to risking your own neck by caring so little how her's is looking.

I'm missing sharpness, either on the doll or at least in the background, so I'd call this a sketch or less surely not "Picture". _ Sorry.
