Nice, I love the background bokeh and how it's done here. Wish the entire thing was a bit sharper. The crop is great, though I think it's a little tight on the bottom-left. Good job, keep it up!
This is a great shot! I do think it fits the theme perfectly (wish I would have thought about it). I do agree with the noise, though. If you use Photoshop/Elements, you can get plug ins that REALLY help with noise a lot. I just got one a few months ago and it's made a huge improvement to all of my pictures.
