Hello, I'm new to 19x19, nice to meet you all. I wanted to post a game I lost recently and see if you'll could give me some advice. I believe I'm about 6k, I think this game represents my natural style at the moment. I think I definitely over played at the top, but a bunch of my groups were loose and I got fairly sloppy as well... I like studying direction of play and theory the most, but have been studying life and death and joseki recently. Any advice would be appreciated. Here's the game.
edit: looking over the game my self, I think I also failed to respond to the probes correctly, hm...

Some comments on the early play. 
Nice game. Both players showed good fighting spirit.

Sweet, thanks for the comments, I know I need to fix my loose shapes, so you guys being able to point out exact areas is awesome. I'm going to have to go back over your posts, there's lots of information there!
