Beautiful B&W. There is a lot to think about in this one.

Underrated - you did a great job of getting so many different expressions in one photo. (and none of the faces are blocked out) You might try desaturaing the yellow channel (in hue/sat) to turn the background to black and white and make it less noticable. Also, for me the photo is about the children so I would crop out the teacher and allow the adult reaction to come from the viewer. But that is a matter of personal taste and may not help your DPC score. This photo displays more personality than any of the ribbon winners in this challenge. Nice work.

This will be a great memory. I love the expression on the face of the adult. Color good.

I like the idea - could have benefited from a better background and moving the group tighter together.

Cute expressions on many of them, and the title helps, but the background is a bit distracting.

Comment by nutzito:
it looks like it has been over sharpenned after not being in good focus. lots of chroma noise. This kind of shots look better with a shallower dof (larger aperture and faster shutter speed)

Quite harsh processing here.. using a wider aperature to blur the background a bit would of seperated the subjects from the BG a little. not really breathtaking. 4

Comment by olddj:
obviously a candid, but cute, teacher appears a tad harried, LOL, kids are kids so tough to get them all attentive at once, would prefer less cement showing at bottom, 7 overall from me

I think not. Cute idea. I don't like the swing set and the tree growing out of peoples heads.
