This is a nice fun shot and I like the placement of the face in the frame but there are definitely a few things you could improve on. The image is quite pixelated, my instinct is to put this down to a resizing problem, maybe you need to look at how your resizing your images? There are some blue and white marks on the B/G and at the edges of the peas...was the B/G originally a different colour? Dealing with these two issues would definitely get you a better score in my opinion :o)

Really nice composition and I really like the processing you have done, it really brings out the detail in the tights and shoes :o)

I am not sure if its the processing but this again appears a little soft to me, I like the composition and feel it suits the tones you have in the shot. Again I dont know how to get rid of the haze but am sure if you can do it it will really boost the image :o)

I Like the composition but the image feels a little soft to me and as you have mentioned there is a kind of hazy cirlce which is quite distracting. I am sure someone here will be able to tell you how to do something about it :o)

The position of the model in the frame is nice in this shot. I like the curve of the lower back leading you up along the body. Also like the lighting on the face and back but would like to see a little more detail round towards his chest(MHO) I do like the processing you have done here :o)

A good abstract, I like the focus on the leaf but find the red petal? a little overpowering. Also there is a a light colours area around the stork of the leaf, is this editing or just the way the B/G was? :o)

Lovely words Don. As far as the picture goes I would possibly have cropped about half an inch off the left handside to get rid of the bottom left han dcorner which for me is a little busy. Other than that the image appears to suit the poem and in thus serves its purpose.

I saved this one till last because I really like it, but, there are few little things that bug me. First I would like Racheals head to be facing slightly more towards the camera, at the moment she feels as though she is looking a little too much out of the frame (MHO). I would also prefer to see her arms fully in the frame, how you would have done this and kept the lovely dress in the shot I am not sure. I do like the movement in her hair and the lighting doesnt seem too harsh here :o)

Nice DOF and for someone who didnt want their picturing taking you have made a good job capturing a little smile here. As you say the middle of the day hasn't helped you with retaining detail on the top of her hair but apart from that this is nice. Now if she'd just looked at the camera for a moment this would have gone from nice to fantastic (MHO) :o)

I like Rachaels 'pose' and feel you have placed her nicely in the frame. I am not too sure about the lighting, although it seems a little dull in the sky there is some brightness to her shoulder that is a little distracting (MHO)
