			Active children playing during break in one of Reykjavik´s primary school, Austurbæjarskóli. Schoolkids are always active so that was an obvious choice for me when I saw the challenges for the week.
 
 Lightroom mostly, general punch, brightness, contrast, tone curve, tiny rotation and resizing, exported to PS: levels, curves, spot healing brush tool, hue/saturation, little bit of dodge and burn, resize, USM and frame, before saving for the web.

		 PostLuminous Award WINNER!
 I knew as soon as I saw this that it transcends any challenge theme--Superb!
 
 tones, textures, color, composition, slight tilt, subject--all combine perfectly.  So very well done. |

		This shot deserved way more credit. This is a fricken outstanding capture and you should be very proud of it. I could go on and on but it would go over many members heads! 
 
 WOW! |

		| It's great how the kids stand out against the drab background. They look like they're having fun too. |

		Easily the best.  How could there be a better 'action' photograph than this great picture of some kids delighting in the pure joy of movement for the sake of it?  Not going anywhere; not doing some tedious bloody sport; just jumping because it's the most wonderful fun-to-be-alive thing for a group of young friends to do.  The fact that it's happening before this sombre institutional backdrop makes it all the more wonderful.  10.  And an Order of the Thumb:

		| Nice picture but I don't think it really conveys the topic. |

		| Very fun, very real, and love the burst of color against the monochrome. |

		And the colors are not dull either. Very sharp and vivid. Tells a story on its own and the background plus tilted appearance is suitable. 
 
 This is much more than a family type picture to me. 8 |
