Schoolchildren in one of the oldest primary school in Reykjavik during recess. That young boy called me paparazzi!

I love the expression you captured here!!! The B&W tones are very bold and dynamic; it focuses our attention ever more on the boy giving us the raspberry:-) Again it is the expression that captures and holds the attention - makes me chuckle:-) Gratz on the high finish.
Very good image. But only thing i want to ask is the lens u used is 'Olympus 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital ED', but the Aperture is F 2.0. Hows that possible??? :)
This is my favorite of the challenge - I hope it ribbons. I love the black and white tones and the DOF. The kid's got a great expression and it's also fun to see what else is happening in the background. Good luck!
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives:Fabulous!!! Has gsal written all over it! The focus on the face here is just fantastic, it anchors the composition so well, with the other elements complementing but maintaing a supporting role. The toning here is perfect too. I also really like the stark highlights in the white hat and hood.
