I'd say that you got it spot on. No criticism from me. Possibly the best photograph I've seen posted on Urban by an Urbanite.
Very, very, fucking hippy mind
--/ And, I'm not even pissed or, stoned. It's spontaneous and not at all contrived. That's what I like. A genuine moment in current festival culture.
aw, i'm really touched by that, stanley.
Actually, she was anything but a hippy - she's one of the Laundrettas, who travel around festivals and events in a little tent recreating a kind of 50s vibe, playing old Nancy Sinatra records and doing people's hair.

Still looks suspiciously fucking hippy to me. Hippy in a 2006 capitalist world sort of way.
Have no idea what I'm trying to say.

Thanks for the comments - got a bit too close to the image and needed an outsider's view
Here it is reworked with a new crop and have played about a bit bumping up the contrast...

...also, in a similar vein, is this one...

Constructive criticism please of some I took the other night when we had a powercut:

Not exactly a bad pic, but not very interesting imo... You've fallen into the common trap of a high colour temp/oversaturated reds. While this does give a candle image a warm feel it can also make the image appear more flat as there is little contrast in the white areas.
http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/6163/img4898ct1.jpg
Doesn't do it for me... The ball of light effect is nice, but this time the shot's temp is too low so the white areas look a bit too blue, gives it a washed out feel. The pram is uneccessary, and so are the kid's toys - actually the toys could be used to create a nice eerie effect, but you'd have to play with the positioning and lighting. The background is also wobbily, which is a cardinal sin when you have indoor photos with strong lines.

Too red again and doesn't really show anything. It's confused and says very little.

Again says very little, and the DOF is badly managed - the picture has no clear focus (either that or you should get a tripod, hard to tell with small images). Might have worked well if you had done it as a model effect shot - there's a way of doing it on PS that I might post up later.

That is fantastic, but I have to say I think it would look better without the guy sitting there.... Sorry!

Yeah I agree, all nice photo's - id have been tempted to have had the sun in the last one a little more in from the left side of the photo though, rule of two thirds and that

I did think about photoshopping him out but I don't like manipulating images too much.

Taking photo's inside is always a tricky thing, at least in getting them looking interesting unless they are macro ones. Some nice lighting to play with but as someone else said, the subject isn't as strong as it could be.
The candle one could have been better if had been closer up and better framed I think.
