Dante,

Friday's Olga picture is nice. Her face is nicely lit. But the door on the right
takes too much space in the frame and the image needs a bit more contrast.

Of the Labor Day parade pictures, I like the "Falung Gong Local 134" best. The
shadow converging on the sitting guy make a powerful, ominous scene.
