Nice juxtaposition between the laughter and the sign "Golden Casket", which I'm sure in this case is not referring to a box people are buried in, but it does create that juxtaposition. Lovely light, too.
The initial impression was that this was way to dark to be truly effective, but on comment review, the mood is directly related to the black and the very subtle white tones just compliment the over all effect. Crisp and sharp, the natural expression and body posture conveys a sense of good will and thus is very effective. Originally rated a 9, the image has been bumped to a 10 as this viewer feels this should properly be a top ten image if not a ribbon contender. Well done.
