Thanks a lot everybody for your votes and beautiful comments. It's my daughter class and one of the classes I teach here in China. Unfortunately I could not get her into it. I took the picture before we start the class and it was really fun.

Thanks a lot Frumoaznicul! You were right. Tata ar fi mandru de mine. Nu stiu daca ti-am spus ca cioplea in lemn si picta. Din pacate nu are nici o pagina web cu lucrarile lui. Sper sa reusesc sa-i fac una.
I love these - This should be in a newspaper - it should go with a story - I don't know what story but it should be held in a library. It can be cropped in a multitude of ways and still be great. Boy in back row 2nd from right is a character in himself.
Love it
There is a very similar shot to this one in the challenge...kinda odd. Still, this is a nice shot, lots of good captures and definately lots to look at and explore. I especially like the kid in the top right who is looking to the side.
I just love this picture! I keep wanting to look at these wonderful expessions of joy, happiness and even confusion(?) little boy in the back. To me, this truly represents the theme in this challenge and the wonderful capture makes it one of my favourites. 10
So far this is the one which has stood out most for me. I love the composition and the feeling of repitition. Love the range of expressions and the capture of so much life and movement. Love the b&w effect too. Fantastic photo, be proud!!
very sweet, and I remember many school moments like this. While not the most technically well done photo, brings back happier memories than most in this challenge.
Very sweet candid photo. You've managed to capture some great expressions. I love the motion blur from the hands of the boy in front. I have a couple of minor nits. It appears slightly overexposed. The kids in the first two rows in the center have rather washed out skin tones. Note there is almost no detail (in terms of shadow and highlight) on the jeans worn by the girl in the first row. The other nit is the blue-cast. This is more ust be a matter of taste but I'm not a fan of black and white photos that have too much blue. I prefer a warmer black and white. Anwyay, it's a very nice candid portrait.
Hi there again! After realizing that I've left a few comments for b&w photos regarding the bluish cast (and noticing it on my own b&w entry) I took a look at the grayscale bar and realized the greys there have a definite bluish cast so it is obviously the monitor on my laptop! I did my entry on my other computer and it definitely did not look blue) Please disregard my comments regarding this. :-D
:) yes funny kids... seems its favorit japanese/chinese sign...
Ok but picture itself... I think its too big...I think i would focused or croped on three kids at left first row...they seem moust interesting here. Also less faces would make picture more personal. Under these conditions I would gave 7/8.
Adorable. Nice black and white. I think this will do well. The only things distracting are the few kids with fingers in front of their faces and the faces that are half in the shot. I would have recommended a tighter crop to minimize those problems. 8.
