 Taken from behind the stage at my daughter's high school graduation ... perfect timing for the shot. Unfortunately, she was not on the aisle, so she's not in this shot.

Hope it does well, though I suspect, given the timing of this challenge, it will be one of many graduation shots entered this week.

Shot with my manual focus 300mm, using a Manfrotto monopod I purchased for this event.

Cropping the people above the fence would help to focus on the graduates and the white item at bottom right

An excellent graduation photo. I love the sense of depth, with a mass of students in the front and parents looking on from behind.

perfect subject for this challenge, there is a lack of focal point here making my eyes wander about and about not able to lock on to anything.
