Happy scholars.

Thanks for all the comments during voting. I know it was a grainy image (and my lowest score so far!) - I didn't have a chance to run this through Photoshop before submitting.

Here is the result if I had been able to do that:

seems like a nice moment but the quality/processing is just not working for me.

nice candid - image quality detracts from overall appeal

looks like a tight crop, its rather noisy as well. Nice moment but I wish we could see what they are looking at. Good Luck

The noise is a little high in this picture and it takes away from the moment for me.

Great expressions but a lot of noise.

They look happy. The shot is a bit grainy, and thus looks a touch out of focus

The grain and lighting distract me in this.

Exciting moment. Lots of noise in the shot too much red.

I think your white balance was way off on this one. Also, the exposure may have been too short, or iso may have been too low. It left speckles all over the skin. Work on aperture and shutter to try to get clearer, more accurate images.

Like the way you have capured the eyes looking to the skies (beware flying hats) a little bit noisy but a nice image

No doubt because of the low light, this image is very noisy, which is a shame.

Nice fun but let badly down on the technical side. Too unsharp and not too well cropped.

This photo has a lot of problems with it that come from (IMHO) a probable combination of three facters. It looks like it was indoors in a very low lighting situation. This makes your camera want to shoot at a higher ISO (causing more noise). It looks like you were probably zoomed way out (causing loss of sharpness which you want to try and fix with sharpening). It looks like a very tight crop (makes the noise in the shot even worse and makes it harder to correct colors and such because of the lower amount of data). How do you take better shots in these situations? Kinda depends on your camera. Without that info I can't give good suggestions but if you post this in the forums after the challenge is over I'm sure you can get a lot of info to help in the future.

In an advanced editing challenge this one appears to be a Point and Shoot image. Massive amounts of noise and blowouts in the skin in the two people on the right.

Feels slightly out of focus, but a good moment.

Little out of focus....

A little too soft.
