struggling, searching, noticing something colored... Oh, it's a 5th birthday party!
To be honest, aside from the challenge tie in, it's a so-so snapshot at best. Can really only see about half the faces, none of the people are smiling much. Focus is good except on the fast-moving kid at the end of the table. Then there's the selective desat which looks more like an attempt to make sure people see the challenge relevance - like if you could've drawn a red arrow pointing to the cake, you would've done that. It doesn't work at all for me in an artistic way. If the challenge tie-in is not obvious, it is best to plainly put it in the title, preferebly in a short and clever way.

Hang in there though!

Hope this was helpful.

One Down, Four to Go

"Ya take one down, pass it around...." - hey you forgot the "Pass it around" part! :(

Lighting is a bit yellow - don't know if that is intentional, but would prefer a clearer / whiter light. Good concept though.

Sounds like an old retired couple from Florida! ;-)
From someone who does not like floral shots much: Very well done! Hang it on the wall. :)

Great capture! Interesting distribution of the subjects. Crop is a bit close on the bottom, but very well done.

Some honest feedback with standard (my opinion) disclamier:
Lighting is harsh, bad shadowing, crop is way too tight, but focus is good. Generally nothing interesting about this shot to me. It is like you are shoving a 5-pack of bananas right up in my face.

Although the topic is simplistic, these challenges tend to be very tough to shoot for.

Hope this was helpful.

Could be better focus, but nice shot overall
