I think a little more blur on the building and a different angle if possible (to eliminate the illuminated building) would make the lanterns stand out more and give it a bit of drama.

Interesting picture, but it's a little busy with the buildings in the background. If the subject is the lights, you would want to isolate them more in the picture to make them stand out. For instance, it looks like there is some open sky to the right - if you positioned yourself a little to the left, you may have been able to isolate the lights against the open sky. If you wanted to keep the juxtaposition with the buildings, then doing the above in landscape mode may have achieved the proper affect.

nice image but I'm sure I am not the first to wish that light on her face wasnt there. lovely dof of the cherry blossoms.. maybe some editing could take the light out and you would have a lovely image!

This has the makings of a pretty charming picture with nice clarity of her expression. But I think a vertical composition to take in a little more of her red kimono may have been better as the pinks and reds play nicely together here. And the way the light falls on her face is not very becoming. 6.

I would have placed the subject a little further from that hanging flower cluster as it appears to be attatched to her head. Also, for a horizontal frame I don't think this center placement of the subject is a good choice. There needs to be a catch light in her eyes. This is a good effort.

I am sure I have seen this one before. It is a wonderful example of bokeh.
