Beautiful composition. Great expression on her face, there must have been something really interesting down there holding her attention!

Good post-processing as well, the hue creates a nice mood here. The only thing I wasn't sure about at first was the blurred background, but it kind of grows on you. The three flowers break it up nicely.

(Hang on a minute, a flower AND a baby in the same shot? 1 from me!) :)

Nice smile, but appears over-processed

Good composition and lighting - I'm just not sure the focus is right, it looks a bit soft (unless that's intentional)

Great composition. The face in the top left really adds to this. And I like the main subject's expression. Grafton Street?

Great capture, and in mid-air as well. Nice timing!

What lets it down for me is the on-camera flash, which creates the very harsh shadows in the background (around the dog, and behind the stick he's jumping) - Try shooting late afternoon with no flash, the lighting will be in your favour.

Nice composition, but a bit too much Neat Image

I like the black background here - It really sets it apart, and off-sets nicely against the main subject colours.

Great use of repetition, with all of them looking the same direction and that lovely touch with the duckling on the bottom-left in mid-quack! Technicals are good, focus, lighting etc.

Fitting title as well (now that I've looked it up)

I have a feeling if they had been yellow all-over you'd be looking at a top ten finish.

Send in the Clowns

I didn't realise you had the clown to yourself! - It looks like a candid shot you might have taken at a street party or something. Nice job on the make-up though.

Personally, if I had gone to the effort of doing the make-up I would have made the most of it by taking a shot full frame of his face, looking directly into the camera for full impact.

Oh, and by the way, I like clowns.... :)
