First I should say I've only had a dslr (Rebel T1i) for 2 months so I'm prepared for any and all feedback. I'd love to know how I could have made these better. This was a tough environment - all black inside with random flashing lights. Feedback is welcomed. I can post exif data if needed. Thanks so much for your help.

Not a good location, I'm afraid. Those cars are just too distracting with their bright, vibrant colours. Up the nostrils shots never work, even on a young girl, and you have made her look far too sensual in that shot (my first thought was Jane Fonda in Barbarella)

I think this type of location could have worked, had it been outdoors. As you said, there was just too much going on in a poorly lit area.

I like the last one, it has the best subject dynamic. A little cropping and PP and you might a nice prize there.

I like the repetition of the coloured cars in the first shot, but the people in the shot are expressionless, obviously concentrating on what they're doing. Maybe try a tighter crop to exclude the gentleman on the right and to chop his head out of the top (middle top of frame) so the focus is on the little girl and the reflected cars.

Thank you, all, for the excellent, clear feedback. It is really appreciated.

I tried a couple of different crops and found one shot I had forgotten about. I don't know if it's any good, but I liked it - the little girl's hair swinging against the back of the car.

She is so cute... It is still nice to capture this moment though despite the noise.
