I love the way the sky and the water match and that the boats are so clear. It's gorgeous!

the composition looks quite interesting, i kind of like the presence of the flag in front of her, makes this look less posed and real.

Top photograph.

Love the off centre symettry and the outstanding dof employed. The flower has a wonderful 3D effect

Superb!

Unfortunate with the flag obscuring her face, but with a candid like this you can't have everything. You have a very nice range of tones here in her skin despite the harsh light. This is a kind of photo that could invoke a lot of different emotional interpretations - looked at one way, she kind of has an anguished look on her face - without your mention that this was a spectator at a parade, her facial expression could be interpreted differently. The image makes you stop and think about it a bit.

Another terrific shot. Nice lines and use of the frame.

Only suggestion, maybe revisit with a tripod and go for a 1 second exposure (may need a ND filter). This way you can get reflections in the water without the ripples, I think it might give it just that extra edge.

Still a terrific photo. Great capture.
