How pretty she is, even under these circumstances. She does look a bit stoned -- feeling no pain. :) But what a big swelling she has under her jaw! Hope it's better soon.

Hmmm...think they forgot something?...

This IS odd. I'd think the pool would come first, then the slide. Hope there are no kids around now to try it out. The image quality seems a little lifeless. I noticed that you used Highlights/Shadows. I find that often seems to flatten the image. When that happens, I like to follow up with an Exposure adjustment, reducing the Offset just a little, and increasing the Gamma just a little. That brings the photo back to life. Anyway this is a fun capture -- makes you wonder.

Very interesting instrument. I've never seen anything like it. You got just enough of the costume into the shot to convey an Asian feel. I like the diagonal composition.

A Man and his Sheep

I like the almost 3-D effect you achieved with the processing. And I like the look on the sheep's face as it peers out from its compromised position. (edited for typo)

This person was obviously having a very difficult moment, but I find it very hard to understand what is happening. I thought it was a man, but of course that doesn't matter. There is something in her hand I can't identify and I can't tell why she is contorted. The thing about the shot that is most interesting to me is the crowd in the background that is oblivious the this occurrence. I guess what I'm saying is that this is definitely telling a story, but I don't know what the story is.

Twirly Fun

Love the photo. Great perspective -- you really captured the height of that ride. Looks very scary and fun! And the colors are very festive. I like the angle and the way the circle of swings fills the frame.

Nice scene, I really like the light from the window. I can almost smell the ginger. Oh, oh, I'm getting hungry. Love your kitchen.

I think this is a remarkably beautiful macro. However it didn't tell much of a story to me. I think it would have scored much higher in Free Study.

Can you cut it like fish sticks?

I like this processing for this scene. The image is very busy, but the processing simplifies it. Very nice.
