Active children playing during break in one of Reykjavik´s primary school, Austurbæjarskóli. Schoolkids are always active so that was an obvious choice for me when I saw the challenges for the week.
Lightroom mostly, general punch, brightness, contrast, tone curve, tiny rotation and resizing, exported to PS: levels, curves, spot healing brush tool, hue/saturation, little bit of dodge and burn, resize, USM and frame, before saving for the web.

This shot deserved way more credit. This is a fricken outstanding capture and you should be very proud of it. I could go on and on but it would go over many members heads!
Easily the best. How could there be a better 'action' photograph than this great picture of some kids delighting in the pure joy of movement for the sake of it? Not going anywhere; not doing some tedious bloody sport; just jumping because it's the most wonderful fun-to-be-alive thing for a group of young friends to do. The fact that it's happening before this sombre institutional backdrop makes it all the more wonderful. 10. And an Order of the Thumb:
