Is everybody ready?

Underrated - you did a great job of getting so many different expressions in one photo. (and none of the faces are blocked out) You might try desaturaing the yellow channel (in hue/sat) to turn the background to black and white and make it less noticable. Also, for me the photo is about the children so I would crop out the teacher and allow the adult reaction to come from the viewer. But that is a matter of personal taste and may not help your DPC score. This photo displays more personality than any of the ribbon winners in this challenge. Nice work.

Great group portrait. Your processing fits the feel and message of the photo. It reminds me of the processing style "One Hour Photo" labs provided tourists not that many years ago. So, to me, your photo looks like it was taken by the person taking the other photo. If anything, your photo may be a little too well composed for the occasion - perhaps you should have chopped off the tops of their heads? Well done.

The Overdose

Comment:
Great eye for the absurd. Most good photos only evoke one emotion from the viewer, this one delivers two gut wrenchings - once for the brief second when the cat appears to be dead and again for the laugh after the truth is realized. Technically, you have made wonderful use of lighting to accentuate the "dead" leg with the strong "chicken leg" shadow. Wonderful photo.
