Greetings from the comment club!

Well composed with the main subject being right on one of the "sweet spots". Nice colors and great exposure. The light mark on the post is somewhat distracting. Cloning it out would help but may not be legal under basic editing. Good detail in the hair of the people in the foreground. The positioning of the graduates creates a nice leading line throughout the frame.

The challenge: Interesting take on this challenge. I don't believe I remember seeing this approach used on any other submission. The title really brings home that graduation is indeed a passage into adulthood.

Good picture but would be great with a blurred forground so your eye is drawn to the guy's face... i'm not entirely sure if that's allowed though.
