great expressions and capture of movement. It seems a bit grainy though.

A really fun shot, composed nicely. Not sure if was the conversion to B&W or the original shot, but there are a few hot spots, especially on the children's faces.

Nice photo. I am ot sure of the effect of B & W. Colour would have been good too. I would be interested to know why you went to B/W.
