Hey all, thanks for the comments on my first submission... The focus issues are right on target.

This was the only photo from my day at the museum that really fit the challenge, it was a candid shot of about 8 tourists that I cropped down to just the two faces you see.

Its amazing the wonder people feel in watching airplanes take flight...

Thanks again,
Mark

This really makes me wonder what these people are looking at. It would be nicer if the man closest to the camera was more in focus.

Great candid - love the spacing - great natural expressions - must be something good off-screen!

good take on the challenge...it helps the both folks have the same kind of look on their face...the cars in the lower left are distracting

This picture meets the challenge, but it looks like a point-and-shoot snapshot

Great capture of the expressions. Looks like the background is in better focus than the foreground, though

Appears as if the focus is not on the main subject.

Yes, it meets the challenge, but there is nothing interesting in this shot. No thought has been given to background, focus, or lighting.
