Niskayuna High School studio singers (part of them). Shot from the back of a large auditorium at 300mm. They are very expressive when they sing, and I was trying to capture their faces. My son is the rightmost male in this shot.

Shot wide open at ISO 1600.

This was one of my top picks from the challenge... who knew it was taken almost in my backyard! Loved the motion here... really brings the shot to life for me. Great job! :)

Amazing all of the comments about motion blur. :D I think the motion blur helps bring the photo to life, adds interest. This was a tough shot to get and you captured it quite well IMO. ISO 1600, wide open aperture...can't get much faster than that (well, I guess you could have gone ISO 3200 - then hello noise!).

This was one of my two 10's for the challenge. Nicely done!

Great capture. I commend your bravery in entering a photo with more than one blurry person in it.

I like the expressions on the faces but the slower shutter and that one blurry face is distracting.

This image realyly has a lot going on for it - attractive kids, nice motion, good lighting. However, the head of the pianist in the foreground takes away and makes this seem more of a snapshot. Cropping this to only have the kids in view may help this.

I think a slightly faster shutter speed would have been helpful to remove some of the motion blur in the hands and heads.
