After the Challenge: As a judgment call, I was personally not comfortable with the amount of tilt in the original version of this photo. In an attempt to hide my mistake I created this funky frame that left some most underwhelmed. I can't really blame those individuals because i wasn't 100% satisfied with my end result either. However, in my defense, I tried to keep the funky frame in the spirit of the moment, which seemed to portray over-the-top whimsy. Blessings! :)

This depicts real fun, real smiles; such a joyful picture. It really is lovely, although I have to say I'm not overkeen on the framing choice.

Lovely shot. Border bugs the heck out of me. Why did you do it that way?

So hard to capture everyone in a group and I think the only face you didn't get is the one at the very top right. Not bad at all.

Love the faces, their expressions, the costumes and their colors. It looks like they are having fun. Border is a little gimmicky ... makes me wonder what was there you're trying to hide. Not a huge factor, more of a nit.
