(20905) [2009-12-04 1:00] Nice shot
Would be good to use a gradient over the upper part of the shot to reduce the brightness of the sky and bring the viewer's eye down to your subject.
Good placement of girl and tree.

A Photographer's Note would be nice. :)

(20905) [2009-12-04 0:53] Excellent shot, you chose a great POV and calculated the exposure perfectly. Great positioning of the elements within the frame - and I really like the way you have placed the Leaning Tower completely within its context and not, as almost every other shot does, given it dominance over the image.
In this shot it is easier to see the tower as a construction bungle, rather than a marvel.
Great job.

(20905) [2009-12-04 0:53] Striking colours and details in this shot. Personally I feel it's a little oversharpned - there is 'ghosting' or visible edges along the leaves and petals. Sharpening is a fine art I think.

(20905) [2009-12-03 20:30] Good subject - but I think overdone on the noise reduction.

(20905) [2009-12-03 20:29] [+]Overall this works well - good composition, good use of light from the various directions. Good sharpness for the slow shutter.
Maybe it could've been given a narrower vertical crop, especially to eliminate the half-signs ("yer" and "court") on the left that create something of a distraction.

(20905) [2009-12-03 20:26] Nice use of light. You were battling a very slow shutter for this but it seems to have come out well - the colours, and the details and texture of the tartan especially.
Maybe a little more (selective) sharpening on the violin itself?

(20905) [2009-12-03 20:25] Makes you wonder what kind of life lies ahead of him. Will he put his charm and energy to good use, or will it turn bad?
Very clear, very detailed - good work on his eyes too. You probably could've used a smaller aperture - f/4.0 or so - and not lost any of the background bokeh.

Textbook composition. A beautiful image. Great lead-in from the lower left drawing the eye into the distance with that ribbon-like path; and the trees create a fantastic framework for it.
Personally I'd go for less sharpening - everything gets quite edgy and "lacy" with so much of it, I think this is a shot where softer edges would create a softer mood?
