To be honest, this really isn't my cup of tea. It does give the impression of a snapshot at a party. Spur of the moment shot, bad lighting and uncontroled distracting elements kind of damage this shot.
First, the main subject looks like those to guy hugging in the center. It appears this way, becuase they are the biggest, central object in the photo. That being said, there are a lot of distracting elements in the photo as well. I think that the person who is cut in half to the left is distracting, and adds nothing good to this shot. Also, the red eyes are a bit of a distraction. The guy in the back left, who appears to be trying to fight his way into the photo, with the red eyes and open mouth really doesn't add to the photo in a positive way. Being so close to what looks like the main subject, and looking rather silly, he's a large distraction.
The lighting obviously was very low, and it appears you have used flash. This makes the skin tones in the hand which is very close to the cameara look yellow and unnatural.
I think that this would have been a bit better, if you could have focused in on ONE thing. Maybe if you could have blurred the background, and just focused in on the 2 guys.
The focus and clarity are good. I will say that the lines are nice and crisp, and there is quite a bit of detail in the photo. Probably too much though.
It's a good snapshot. Definately captures a moment, but not really in a creative way. As for meeting the challenge, I say that if this makes you think of home, then who am I to say otherwise.

| That is one crowded home... How many are in that living room :-) Too many red-eyes for me. |

| Good shot of The Amazing Treefrog-Fingered Man - looks like a full house too. Captured a euphoric moment nicely. |

| this shot makes me smile. :) I hate the use of the onboard flash, but the lighting wasn't good and you needed something to illluminate the scene. Not sure it fits the challenge all that well, but its a candid full of emotion. I like it. |

5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.
The eye is, oddly, drawn to the hand. The lack of any logical central point of attention in the shot contributes to it looking snapshottish. |

| you captured a beautiful moment. The orange lights just above the crowd are distracting, but it's understandable considering the nature of the shot. Good job. |

| photo has major snapshot quality. I fail to see your composition. This has nothing to do with home, either. Better luck next week. |
