Striking composition and colors, not all that "candid" feeling though. Looks like sharpness filters were overapplied.

A pity you didn't have critical focus on this. Use of sharpening filter is too obvious and not especially effective anyway in this case. A very evocative moment.

Nice! I'd rate it higher if it were crisper. A solid image, a strong score.

Very strong environmental candid. Would benefit from a more muted, softer tonal range and more sparing use of the sharpening filters, I think. There's lots going on, lots of stories to read. Good work!

This is like a "Bingo!" picture. Selective desaturation works here because it's natural-feeling.

Wonderful compositiona nd expression, marred somewhat by less-than-critical visual acuity and a tad too much contrast.

Very nice. I'd think about brushing out the random highlights between the two figures on right. These are just tiny distractions. More critically, the very bright highlights on her hair are pulling the eye the wrong way; we really want our focus drawn to the hand holding the piece. I'd tone those way down, to visually contain the drama of the action.

Lovely. I wish we had a bit more on the top, that's a pretty tight fit there.

Simply striking. Be even more so if his (her?) hair separated a tad better from BG. I'd have toned down the chain (?) in the center bottom a couple stops too, it's an eyetrap.

Rich and evocative, beautifully composed. Separation of hair from BG on left is fantastic. Perhaps use healing brush to mute the nose higlights slightly? Very strong image.
