Oh how cool! That had to be so much fun!

I would have liked this better with some of the people at the bottom cropped out, and it would be nice to see more of the fireworks at the top.

Gorgeous sky and a gorgeous silhouette. The title is wonderful too.

I love the smokey battlefield and the clusters of soldiers in the foreground and the background. With all the haze though, the soldiers don't stand out quite as much as I'd like.. Maybe playing with the contrast and levels could fix that.

Also a shot of just the people in the foreground that are in the center of the shot (with the guy leaning over talking to the people walking by, and the guy on the end of their group with the flag) would have been cool too. That moment is what really draws me in to this shot.

Wow, the colors here are gorgeous! Is this a picture of an actual peacock or a painting/drawing? It looks more like the latter. Also I'm not sure but are vignettes allowed in Advanced?

Long Jump

What a great action shot! Pity that her arm looks so odd (the one with the watch) but that's not exactly something you could help. :P Hope she did well in the jump!

What lovely colors! I probably would have cropped the left side more, though, and gotten rid of the blurry bud in the background. But the foreground is beautiful; The details in the flower are especially lovely.

99 minus 93 red balloons

I like this shot a lot. :D Shame you couldn't actually get 99 red balloons, but that would be costly (and more awkward for your model, no doubt. :P). The only thing I can see that I might change would be maybe cropping it a little closer, like losing the two outermost rocks, mostly to get rid of the odd shrubberies on the edges. And cloning out that little spot to the left of her elbow.

This is a really interesting shot. I really love the little white flowers and how fitting your title is. Wish it was a little less blurry in spots.

This is a wonderful shot! Not so sure the title fits, but it made me giggle anyway. :)

The Lonely Bench

I really like the composition of this, with the bench off-center and the winding path on the left. I like the black and white, but I think maybe upping the contrast would help bring out / define the details of the scene more.
