I think I saw this photo in a forum thread, so I'm gonna skip voting on it, but I'd like to leave some comments. This photo has a nice old-time feel to it and the boats in the background add some nice interest and story. The faces look perhaps a little dark for my tastes, as I really like to be able to see lots of facial detail.

A fun pic, but I think it'd be better more sepia-toned. My image looks too green.

good group shot. the colour tone of the photo helps convey the time and the tail end of the paddle steamer int he background doesnt hurt either, good shot

This is cute although the light appears too harsh.

Steve - I can't believe that after posting this in a forum thread (Photo for a local contest. Need critique please.) and getting substantial feedback on how to improve it, you're using it as a challenge entry.

Cute but too much contrast. The shadows are solid black and the highlights on the boat are stark white. The sky is totally white.

Interesting shot. The greenish/sepia tone really lends itself to being an "old" shot. My only nitpick would be to either crop closer so it was balanced on both sides (my personal preference) or show more of the riverboats in the background.

Nice capture but the tones are a bit too green, IMHO
