You already know my thoughts. I like James version better of these three. You should take a 'cleavage' lesson from him.

Good framing and capture of the vendor. The colors are strong, the focus is on.

Good capture of someone just killing time before the parade. Do you have more room on the left to have her looking more into the frame. This seems just a bit tight.

Good capture of the handlebar. Your shallow DOF definitely kept all the garbage from behind unrecognizeable. Makes it hard to see that you shot this on a crowded busy street. Went back on the following weekend and it was strong sunshine and hard to shoot. Cold, foggy, damp, cloudy weather does have it's advantages sometimes.

The way the water and the sky (read fog) blend it looks like the trees are floating. I like the way it fades back into the fog.

Shallow DOF works really well here to keep the tree separated from the water and softens the tree reflections behind main tree.

Comment by AP:
kat, I agree with Jeff and think this photo could be improved with higher contrast in the mountain itself. The sky looks great, but the ground looks subdued compared to it. I am by no means and implying that I did it the 'right' way or anything like that, but after I visited the badlands I felt like my images lacked a 'punch', so I did some selective dodging and burning (and added some lightness/darkness layers) to accentuate their visual interest. I hope it won't offend you to link to my pic, which I am only posting as an example of what might be possible, nothing more. Wasn't this place a complete trip to visit? What a bizarre landscape!
