I think rings are the worst to take pics of! I've tried and never been happy with the results. This looks really nice!

I like the title but the lights on the pole give away the camera shake and catch my eye too much.

if just the people were blurry it would be a great shot, but the whole scene appears to be oof

Very cute dog! The only problem I see is with contrast, mabey its just that all the tones are looking the same to me and the dog doesn't stand out like it should.

IMO I think a little straightening and just a slight crop would have brought out the couple and the one guy walking...to me that's interesting and that is where my focus goes...

I do like the colors here, and well as the dynamic feel. However I wish something wasn't blurry.

That's a nice looking dog.

My suggestion for starting cs5 (and i have only cs3 but i would imagaine it's pretty much the same in this respect) would be to use a levels layer. I think this picture looks a little too bright - playing with the levels sliders would help it maybe - and then you can also get used toi the idea of painting effects in and out on the layer mask - which is the biggest thing of all. Remember to use the icon at the bottom of the layers palette to start your levels command - if you use the commands in the menu bar at the top of the screen the change will be applied to the whole image with no layer mask to work with.
