sweet girl, but you have perhaps cropped this a little too close and so we have lost the 'crowd' that she is meant to be 'alone' in.

a nice idea - I think to really get the full potential of this we really neede to see more of the people behind her so we got more of the 'crowd' feel

A fun approach, but lacking visual impact.

I think being any kind of umpire would make you feel very alone in a crowd . .

you've certainly captured the alone - but I'm not sure about the crowd - I think you really neede to include more than just their legs.

Wood this do?

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit thick here - but I'm really struggling to see what's alone here, and what crowd it's alone from ?

I did wonder if it was the metal winch - but there are other metal tools on the wall . . and I wondered if it was the wooden tub in the middle but there are two other tubs as well . . Interesting workshop though.

Shake those pom poms!

quite a nice portrait, but it's hard to really see the crowd, and very odd has happened to the face of the girl behind her which is a little distracting. Quite a nice capture of the main girl though and I like the B&W conversion.

unexpected flying object

not a bad idea, but the bird tends to get lost in the picture as it is so small and you don't seem to have used the maximum image size either, which makes everything smaller again.

In an ideal world if you could have got essentially the same shot but the bird with a bit of sun lighting up it's plumage, in among the flowers (so they formed the backdrop instead of the fence) and cropped it in a bit tighter I think this could have been a really eyecatching shot.

but hey - wildlife and weather rarely co-operate :- )
