wow i screwed up. i guess i didn't understand the rules for this challenge: "However, the face of the emotive subject should NOT be the main focus of your photo." I figured the person doing the robot was the main focus...and the reaction from the other person off to the side was the emotive subject. er something like that.
This is what many photographers would call a 'snapshot'. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means that the shot probably will not have much meaning or feeling to anyone who doesn't know the subjects of the shot...

And the emotion is, what? Since the woman on the right is showing her emotions through her face, and I can't get anything from the woman on the right's body language, this shot doesn't meet the challenge for me.
Your flash is too bright which makes this look more like a snapshot in the bar...especially since you have the guys in the background. Your foocus for this shot has become the woman laughing (with the face). You did htis in two ways....one by covering only one girl with her hair...the other woman became the only thing that was recognizable and that is where your eyes drift to. Secondly, you placed her on the let third of the photo....which is one of your focus points.
Other things to note is that the beer bottles (especially the one right in front, distract from the photo and so does the cup on the right.
This doesn't fit the faceless category very well. The shot also needs a lot of composition work. The foreground and the background are too distracting.
