It's neverending for today's teenager, school, social and sibling pressure is constant and can take it's toll. We set this up in Melissa's classroom at school.

For those who wonder, this was taken before Melissa had her episode and I asked her if she wanted me to pull it. She said no, keep it up in the challenge.

Nice entry, Deannda! I'm not a selective desat fan, but I can see why you chose to use it here. Like Manny said below, the diagonals of the kids' heads is really cool... the flute contributes to the lines, and there's no clutter at all in the shot. I love, love, love how much you all work together with your entries. You're a wonderful mom and you have awesome kids! Congratulations on a very nice entry.
I like this! The use of the b/w background is very effective, and I like the way you combined 'props' to tell something about the subject. Very effective.
Haha, that's just like me right now. I'm going to a clarinet test after an hour and after that I'm going to play on a concert. In next week I have a test which I have to read a lot for. I also have two irritating siblings.
I like this photo very much. It describes the atmosphere very well. 10!
