Ahhh kids...sometimes I think it'd be easier to pose a bunch of cats :) This is one of about twenty pics. I did actually get a usable shot, but this one just says it all. The teacher wasn't actually that frustrated. I caught her in the right motion to make it look that way.
It's been adjusted in the following manner:
Highlights burned, some added burning for definition, cropped a tad, cloned out leaves and paper litter, saturation and brightness mildly adjusted (up and down respectively), lightly framed.

Underrated - you did a great job of getting so many different expressions in one photo. (and none of the faces are blocked out) You might try desaturaing the yellow channel (in hue/sat) to turn the background to black and white and make it less noticable. Also, for me the photo is about the children so I would crop out the teacher and allow the adult reaction to come from the viewer. But that is a matter of personal taste and may not help your DPC score. This photo displays more personality than any of the ribbon winners in this challenge. Nice work.
it looks like it has been over sharpenned after not being in good focus. lots of chroma noise. This kind of shots look better with a shallower dof (larger aperture and faster shutter speed)
Quite harsh processing here.. using a wider aperature to blur the background a bit would of seperated the subjects from the BG a little. not really breathtaking. 4
obviously a candid, but cute, teacher appears a tad harried, LOL, kids are kids so tough to get them all attentive at once, would prefer less cement showing at bottom, 7 overall from me
