Nice dramatic lighting and good poses. Some background light for separation would've helped.

Looks a bit plasticky (especially in the trees), and there's an odd black halo around the girl's head. If the image is going to be blurred, it would've been nice if the ball had a motion blur and looked like it was moving toward the man.

Ladies Rule (Indian Army, Indian Navy & Indian Air Forces)

I like the composition, but the underexposed background screams "on-board flash". There look to be a lot of JPEG artifacts here; when I go to download this image, it comes up at only 36 kb, and yet you could have saved it at 150 kb.

Baby Deer

You met the challenge by including the parents on the right, but the image as it exists here is quite cluttered and distracting to me. The pinks in the blanket and pants, along with the tennis racquets and the plastic bag, do nothing to help the image.

I would suggest taking a tight crop of the girl and doe she's feeding, and converting that to black and white or sepia tone. Judging by the look and posing of the girl relative to the deer, I think you'd have an excellent shot in your portfolio.

Great eyes, and nice job using the sun for backlighting. Great exposure.

Nice eyes, but the man's face looks posterized. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the faces look over-processed.

Is everybody ready?

Cute expressions on many of them, and the title helps, but the background is a bit distracting.

Symphony in Rehearsal

A group portrait, surely, but there's no clear subject among them all (and the group as a whole doesn't serve as a single subject, as the eye easily drifts away from it).

If I may, I would suggest a tighter crop on only a few of the musicians, in a nice black and white. The brain is surprisingly good at completing the picture, and it doesn't require seeing the entire orchestra to know that everyone's there.

The perspective is a fresh one, and the honeycomb pattern serves as an interesting background.

Great candid shot. Black and white looks good here. Very well composed.
