The racial gap is continuously being bridged here in South Africa. The red in the back represents the pain in the past; the hands, the hope for the future.

To be honest, this isn't a great shot in my opinion. This is for a few reasons: fussy background, slightly soft, strange lighting and major cliche. Of course, the last point is a matter of taste, but still doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. Sorry!
I like the subject and idea, but the execution isn't doing much for me. Maybe having the kids hold hands or showing some other way of "togetherness" would have more impact.
Unexpected but very interesting concept on the bridges and I see it very clearly, I'm sure it's not just in South Africa but is considered everywhere. Nice tight crop with effective depth of field, excellent work.
there are times when contriving an image to fit a brief just doesn't work, this looks like one of those times.
Nicely exposedhands and love the background, just can't connect them.
nice idea, but the resulting graphic is muddled in composition. Technical values are fine, but since you had controll over the composition, you might have done more with this idea.
This has the opportunity to be a very moving shot, but the light seems to be a bit too harsh to set the mood. The narrow crop is also distracting. The focus, however, is great, and the idea fits the challenge.
