Overall a strong category where the judges chose the first two photographs that showed emotional reactions with good timing. Please work on captions to include more information. First place was a wonderful moment of excitement for the children contrasted with embarrassment for the teacher. The second place entry showed the raw emotion of a child in mud. It could have competed with first place except for the lack of information in the caption. The third place entry was a very artistically created image - liked the emphasis on the color contrast between berries and worker. It also may have moved into a higher placement but the caption information was lacking.
