Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello again Angela,
The excitement, joy and sense of fun that this shot conveys is simply fantastic. You have done a wonderful job of capturing and conveying the the wonderful experience the girls are so clearly enjoying. You can see how intense and involved everyone is. Brilliant.
You have clearly met the challenge, and in doing so created an interesting and engaging image. So why the relatively low score? Personally I agree that it was 'shockingly underrated'. I like the composition and the point of view. In terms of composition the only things I would have liked different would be: exclude the boy on the right who isn't interested, include the adult males foot, and include the whole of the little girl on the left. The ceiling lights are distracting but to exclude them you would have to have shot downwards from higher up, which would have caused you to lose your connection with the children.
The colours are a bit flat. I see that in the post-processing you have performed the steps I would recommend. Is that the order you performed the pp in? If so, then I would recommend you move the resizing to the end of your work-flow to preserve the detail as long as possible. Also consider what you were doing in terms of White-Balance. Have you experimented with shooting in RAW to have better control over this?
I'm still confused by the technical details you have entered. I am convinced that you are entering shutter and aperture in the opposite fields. In this instance it is clear that the shutter-speed could not have been 3.2 seconds.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Cheers
Paul |

| Great capture and shocking underrated IMO. Perphafs a B&W version would have given you higher score but you can be proud of the photo. |

| I love this photo, I just keep coming back over and over. Every face is just so happy and there is so much energy. Love the tilt from the running girls and the spinning man and how it is perpendicular with the strong ceiling elements. |

| this is a neat image. the emotion in the faces ae fun and descriptive of the event. The ceiling is the only thing that i would change if I could. A tad distracting ... but given the circumstances :) 7 |

| this photo is full of fun! I like the smiles and laughter captured in this seemingly spontaneous shot. Like the colours (or lack of it) too. Good pic. |

| Looks like a happy time. ;^) I'm finding myself looking more at the faces in the crowd to see their reaction than I am at your primary subject. Not sure why. Hmmm. It's still fun nonetheless. Getting some motion blur on the girl being swung around. Probably will get hit on that a smidgen in the voting. Good luck in the challenge. |

| I love this as a great snap, the girls expressions are priceless...I just think it needed a little editing to make it POP, some work in PS adjusting levels and contrast...perhaps even go black and white...I love it as a photo |
