I really like this and am giving it a good score. I think a little more attention to the overall photo (background, how it interacts with the subject as well as the subject's pose and position) would have made it even better.

Borders are not usually my favourite, but this one compliments a fine image quite well.

Great job.

I think a neutral black or white border would look better on this photo. Actually, putting the whole thing in black and white would look pretty good I think. Did you try cropping in closer on the knight?

One common suggestion in composition is to never have objects leading your eye out of the photo. In this case the background flag is a significant subject, yet its partial presence in the frame becomes distracting. Similarly, the red/yellow corner of the tent to the knight's side makes us wonder where the rest of it is rather then focusing on the more intricate details of the knight's armor. I certainly don't suggest blindly following rules in photography, but in this case I believe they would help you to compose a stronger image.

How lucky are you for finding or having something like this around to shoot during "Fairy Tale" week? Great shot, but I have a suggestion. How about a closer cropping on the knight? This would help eliminate more of the distracting flag in the background, and help the viewer focus better on the subject. Your focus from a distance is very nice as well.
