This would have been a great picture for the fauna challenge this week or even for a free study. In this challenge it is misplaced imo (5)

Nice, but not too exciting and fairly static, and your whitebalance seems off. (5)

I'll Save Him!

I would hardly call this a group portrait and I am not too pleased with the IQ either. It's not very sharp, fairly noise and I am not a fan of vignetting (4)

From Above

I like the idea and the execution works out fine as well. I am not too pleased with the strange shadows on the middle face and I think the picture might have been more interesting using a different camera angle. (6)

The 5D Divas

I realy like the idea and the general setup. I like the execution less though. The image is not very sharp and several details of the positioning of the group are not very good imo. For instance, the lady with the glasses blocks my sight on the lady with the white shirt, forcing her to lift her arm in order to get her camera in the picture. (6)

Teamwork

I like it. The combination of picture and title is cynical in a funny way. Would have liked a shorter DOF though, and slightly stronger colours. Also, I think a thighter crop on the right end side might have worked better. (6)

Nice action shot, but how is this a group portrait? I normaly like alternative takes on a challenge theme, but this one is too far off IMO. Liek the picture though, Nice feel of action, well chosen DOF. (5)

I think the picture is quite okay, but you messed up in postprocessing. Whatever it is you dit to the picture, I do not like it. (4)

Pittsburgh Steelers Fans - Football Fanatics

Comment:
That's a group portrait allright. Actually, I don't like fanatics, no matter what they are fanatic about. But then again, you picture them as they are. would have liked a shorter DOF on this one though. Just enough to convey the idea of a corny interior design, without having so many distracting items in the picture (6)

Nice.background fits nicely, and great use of DOF. Not too sure about the use of b/w though. Pitty we can hardly see any expressions (7)
