Great shot! The "warriors" nicely show off their "battle scars". I really like the spontaneousness of the warriors, it shows they had a great time, on what is a great day in everyone's life: graduation day.

I would love to meet the chef... that looks like extremely yummy cake :-) Seriously, I love the expresions on the girls faces and it gave me an instant smile. Creating an emotional response is extremely hard in photography. You have suceeded very well. Congratulations

This has to be my favourite. You don't get expressions like those by saying 'cheese'! It could be a simple snap, almost, but it says so much. And yes, they're a pretty group...

Beautifully caught. The light is interesting - the girls look as if you have used a bit of fill flash, which presumably you haven't. The bright foreground contrasts nicely with that filthy looking sky top left.

It looks like you could've used the 1000/f11 for that, instead of the much, much more dangerous 28/f2 ! The guy in the back looks like he's got something in store for you :-)
