The head of the drum major is a little dark but I love the composition and the DOF with the crowd in the background.

Excellent work. Some of the leaves in the bottom left of the group are a little bit blurry but I really like the contrast of colours

0-6...tough for this guy to remain enthusiastic, I'd imagine

Nice idea. With advanced editing you could have edited out the flaws in the egg.

Cool image and I think you made a good choice to go with B&W here. I believe that the crop serves to help us appreciate the setting so I think you did just fine there.

Ha!! I didn't notice this one before. This is wonderful and entertaining. I remember being in just such a place in my life! I even love that he's wearing jeans...they emphasize his youth and lack of responsibility - the part of his life that he's leaving behind at this particular point. Great observation & capture.

Lighting and composition are beautiful on this. Very pleasant colors and lighting. I remember sitting on this pic for a little bit during voting not being able top make up my mind whether or not the amount of softness was effective on this. I ended up voting it a 6. Ideas for potential improvement IMO (worth nothing!) - slightly less softness and possibly a 15 to 20 pixel white border with a 3 pix black frame around the outside? Haven't played with...just a guess.

Not enough balance for me. It's over too much to the right.

I think the composition might be better if the egg were tilted more to the right.
