I've been a little more active on the forums recently, but haven't really been able to get out and shoot as much as I'd like, but our neighbors threw this bash last night, and a few turned out OK.

I have a favorite out of these, but I'm wondering what your opinions are.
Thanks!

    Nice set. Lots to like but I'm liking the first three best. I'm assuming the third is a sparkler reflection on the mason jar. I wish it was a bit more distinct in the reflection, but it's a nice shot.

    Actually the sparkler was inside the mason jar, which made some interesting light in the glass, but also distorted the sparkler a bit.
    Thanks for the feedback!

    Jake, first of all, I want to move to your neighborhood! That's quite the party. I think I like #2 and #4 best.

    I see that you have #2 in the entry gallery and do like it, but wanted to let you know that I also really like #3. (I might even give it the edge over #2 but both are good shots!)

    I just wanted to say thanks everybody for your feedback! It is definitely instructive to see what others see in my photos. I had to go with #2 because the girl's expression was just too charming. When I was shooting that night I thought that #3 might be the keeper. In that dynamic situation it was rather hard to get shots without a lot of foreground clutter... but I'm wishfully thinking is just adds context, right?
