Black looks to invade at p18 and hoping to reinforce white's invasion at to side. But, butting by white was a good move. Butting was an emergency move to gain sente. But, I could not do empty triangle or do one point jump so I risked invasion at top to go to left side.
Overall, you built a lot of power on the lower side and came within a whisker of having it all neutralized. I completely agree with Tryphon's suggestion of O16 for move 28. It would have connected your guys and kept him locked in the corner.
BTW, earlier, at move 10, R6 looks like the proper direction. It is a long extension off of the stones up top. ( Note that it is the same theme of making your stones work together over long distances. )

that was not a good move. i can say that because i can think of few moves that is better than that. (example p17) edit: this was regarding white's head
for black 28 is actually aji-keshi. because white will play P17

My reasoning for O3 was to give equal strength to handi stones.

Sacrifice at O18?
correct answer is "it is better to play somewhere else". if you want to play there..i rather play without sacrifice and push. (it is same without sacrifice)
