You feel like you're there and can feel, or at least remember, what it was like. Like a Rockwell, each face is unique and the hand motion adds a lot to the energy. Nicely done.

This is great, Christian! I love the blurred hands in the lower right. Such contrast you found between the one happy girl and the rest of the table!

I feel her pain. :) Subtle and sneaks up on you, great shot.

Still one of my favorite photos not just in the challenge but overall. So under rated. Love the framing, the expressions and the whole scene/context.

Hmmm... I see I didn't comment on this during the challenge, which is odd as it's one of my top shots. In addition to the young lady's expression, I love the blurred and still hands in the foreground. Puts you there!

Those hands on the right ended up being more distracting than I thought...

I think a tighter crop so that the little girl on the left was the focus would have made this more interesting and effective. As it is, though, I like the way all the kids are doing something different and how the hands on the right so the motion so well.

I feel her pain... what a vibrant room stopped in time. She's so still and the moving hands really add to this.

The hands on the right side of the picture take away from it for me. With hands 7, without 8.

Good work highlighting the little girl as well as capturing the rest of the action. 7

Nice capture - She gets a little lost in the size of the frame but nice angle of view.

Love the expression of the first girl on the left, i am bumping up 2 points just for the capture! Great shot

It seems a bit noisy but you did an excellent job hilighting the little girl. She pops right out.

Wow, this picture is busy, but all the better for it (candid does not have to mean minimalist). Wonderful range of expressions captured and the motion blur of the hands on the right just add to the feeling that so much is going on.

Possibly a shade dark but the B&W works well (colour imo would have just overloaded this shot)

I like it

Almost didn't catch it. I actually wasn;t voting yet, and clicked on past this, but immediately hit the BACK button. That is subtle... I LOVE this ! Nice job on highlighting her face only. What a perfect look. I just hope everyone takes the time to see this. 10 from me. Well done.
