 This will probably bomb big time - but I really just don't care!! It means a great deal to me and I wanted to share it with everyone.

The day before we took this, my family puppy died rather tragically and I was in a very emotional state. Most of the kids in the picture were aware of my mood and were willing to do just about anything to help lift my spirits. They were wonderful. We probably took about 40 shots in 10 marathon minutes. The more pictures I took, the harder we all laughed. It was simply wonderful. We laughed even harder after they saw themselves in the images.

So if it tanks - who cares!!! This has got to be one of my most favorite pictures now. I owe a great deal to my spirit lifting publications class. They truly are wonderful young men and women!

First, sorry to hear about your puppy.

That said, ha! What a wonderful, joyous celebration of youth and life. I'm so happy for you that you got this with kids you care about, and who obviously care about you. And I'm also happy the voters recognized this for the triumph it is. :) Going in my faves.

I love this. They look like they are having so much fun. I would like to see it at full size as I bet the faces of the students give the shot even more personality. Well done.

This is VERY nice. I really like this. Mostly because I REALLY understand how fun study breaks can actually be when you're studying your ass off. =D

I'm sure that this photo would look better if I could view it larger! Fun, but needs a little more shadow/contrast to make the models stand out.

This is cute and funny. Too bad DPC allows on a 640 on this one.
