The band seems a bit shadowed. If you could do a reshoot, I suggest perhaps cropping up a bit to remove the crowd of heads, and exposing for the shadows.

Great desat. Great focus. Great colors. Great DOF. 7 as it is. Perhaps na 8 if you would have moves her a step to either the right or left, to avoid having her so centered in the shot.

IMO, I don't really like the blown highlights here. I think you might have been trying for a high-key shot with lots of great colors in the outfits, but it didn't quite make it. 5

Awesome colors. Nice tight crop. My only comment is that her face looks a bit oversharpened. 6

Cute. But, she seems a bit cramped inside this very tightly cropped shot. If there was a possibility of a reshoot, I'd suggest getting down on the floor, closer to her level, and looking more upwards into her face, instead of down at the top of her head, and leaving more blank space above her head. If you had to, you could lookse the boots, as well, as they detract from the face. Also, I find this a bit too contrast-y, and there are some blown highlights on her face, near the nose. 5

Great expression, and the perfect title to highlight it. Nice job. I might have gone for just a touch more contrast to get to true blacks and whites, but overall a 7 from me.

How cute. Great focus and use of Dof to highlight the boy. I just wish there was slightly more of a catchlight in the lads eyes. That would really make this shot pop. 7 as it is.
