A very good interpretation of the challenge.
Perhaps less sharpening before you save it for the web would retain the softness and reduce these unwanted halos.

Beautiful. The hair is magnificent.
Perhaps a square format would suit it more (a trim from the right)

Stunning picture, wanderful tonality, good composition. Betteer quit to have more time for photography.

Week 2. NYS Capital Building

Comment:
What a relief to find a place not swampped by cars! An architect's dream. They never, ever show cars in their sketches for proprosed work even if the buildings will eventually be partly covered by the traffic.

voted at the last minute, 8, without time for bumping or leaving a note. you captured some battle here. it has the aura of a 17 century litograph. and yes, pennystreet is right, it does have a religious feel here; the good in triumph.

School's out for Summer

Delightful. Did not have time to bump up or leave a comment. It was 8
My only reserve, and this is in general, not only for this image, is that we tend to darken the edges of the shots, something that comes with the processing but was not always considered in photography. It works here but one can tell that it was added.
So nice that it will be in a magazine. Rightfully so. It bursts with joy and energy.

I gave you the 9 at the last minute so did not have time for comments.
Well, this is the end of the celebration, the total death of the merry go round, a shot so scary that it deserves some applause.
