Alright so I'm just a teen, bear with me on my entries :)
This was an easy shot to get, more or less. First i needed to get the food all set up so it looks like more than there really was. My family helped with the modeling (Aren't they awesome?) and it was so fun to get everybody laughing. We all just made jokes about it being an Auschwitz picnic....*sigh* thats what I get for minimizing on food. I don't mind if this doesn't place well, it's my first entry and I had lots of fun taking it!

You might want to shut off the "Dater" in your camera forever(too distracting for viewing pictures in general, and for competition entries - even if the date-print is allowed.) I really did enjoy seeing this snapshot; it captured the feeling of a real-people picnic.
better framing (don't crop off heads, legs, etc.), no date stamp, no cellophane on the watermelon - these would have all made a better picture. I like the shoes in the foreground and the point of view, though I'm sure some people will also complain about that. It does look like a fun summertime meal, though :)
Great color - very crisp. I have a feeling that you're going to get dinged for having the date in the corner - hopefully I'm wrong. If you get the opportunity to try this shot again, I would remove the shoes and have the person on the left tuck their feet in.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to say the date is a no-no. Good idea and colors, though. Sorry, but this will probably be dq'd. They look like they're having a great time. I would have givin a 6 for this shot.
I'm afraid this one is on the way to a dq because of the date stamp, but still it's a happy image. Perhaps the empty shoes in the foreground are a minus, but still all those smiles are catching.
Cute snapshot of a summer picnic. I like the laughter.
Might want to turn off date imprinting in your camera. That gives it a very un-professional look.
Your going to get a lot of comments about this, I am sure, but you need to get rid of the date stamp in the photo. I have never seen a photo where I wished the date was printed on it.
