a Great emotion. The face seems a liitle too bright for me but compositionally this does capture the essence very well

Really great expression! Good possiton of shot and cropping. I actually like the line behind him, it adds to the motion of the upraised arm. I only don't like the flash washout and shadows. 8

the most genuine and believable "mood" in the challenge ...

The use of direct flash here is evident, thus giving it the appearance of a snapshot. It meets the challenge well and the expression is very nice.

Nice moment, but photo is not sharp, onboard flash looks terrible and has cast ugly shadows, face is cut in half by background line and face looks very splotchy due to harsh light and too much purple/red saturation.

It must be April, I never even went to my graduation, had to work. Nice candid pose. I would have cropped in tighter on the right, just a little away from his face, no need for the entire hat. That might add to the good composition with his fist raised like that.

I like the capture of the mood. The crop or spacing, I don't know about?

Oh Good job!!! You can really feel the emotion in that guy's happy, relieved, ACCOMPLISHED heart :)

This is not the greatest image in the challenge, but it does invoke an emotion. I was there 7 short years ago, and I know exactly what this feeling is like. Clearly this is not a controlled photograph (lighting, composition, ect), which allows it to fall into the catagory of a snapshot, but as mentioned above does depict strong emotions which include 'success, happiness, joy, victory,and accomplishment. I may be wrong but I suspect this image will not do real well, but my similiar experience helps me make the connection. Good luck! <5>
