Camera: Nikon D200

 Girl Scouts on the way to getting on the Metro to help clean up the Mall. My troop was already upstairs on the train platform, which has these rectangular holes in the floor through which you can look down.

No complaints here on either the score or the comments. I agree it's not a traditional portrait, so the DNMCers have a point.

Well, Jeffrey.....I have a problem with the portrait definition as it applies here. It's a great different perspective shot, it's decidedly an unusual angle.....I'm just glad to see by your own admission that it's not a conventional portrait.

You might want to remember this idea for the "perspective" shot.

This is terrific! Love the vantage point and wonderful tones.

Really cool shot! I think it has much more feeling and better conveyance of mood than many shots above it. You were robbed :)

LOL! The behive-esque pattern adds a great deal of interest to this allready interesting angle and moment. I'd like to see a bit more in the frame bu assume you cropped with a reason. Very beautiful image with a unique comp and content to peruse for a while.

The perspective is a fresh one, and the honeycomb pattern serves as an interesting background.

Not really striking me as a group portrait, more like a group candid, I wont say DNMC, but its bordering on that.. still, a good shot and interesting angle.. 6

Interesting viewpoint. Takes some getting used to, so you might not score high. I like the combination of the people and the pattern, but the blown out highlights aren't so nice (5)

This is my favourite in this round. Great perspective from such a different angle for a portrait!

Nice composition. The pattern on the floor makes me think of a bee hive which in turn makes me think of the people as the busy bees. Good shot!

Truly great shot. Love the POV and the tiled floor really adds to this (shame about the 'seams' but what can you do. Very well cropped and I like the B&W conversion. One of -if not my favourites of the challenge 9

It would work better for me if they were all looking up.

a very good out-of-the-box thinking. immediately noticed the 5-ring-olympic symbol pattern with lower five girls. 9

I like the tiles and the image guides me toward the adult as the primary subject.

Very nice editing here - and I guess she does look better dodged - I'll have to compare with your other shot. Hopefully this is doing well - I really like this for the challenge alot! Yep, looks better (just compared). What did you do to reduce the whites so much?
