This photo expresses the happiness of childhood well. This brings back memories for me of exploring the tubes of a playground. The lighting surrounding the child makes the photo feel as if it's a flashback. The composition is very well done, and though the lighting behind the child is so bright, it does not take away the focus from the main subject of the photo. Congrats on this well done photo!

This photo presents such bold emotion! Boxing is a sport that holds so much emotion as two men fight each other for superior strength. It's human instinct for a sport like this to hold such emotion. Good job capturing this man's emotion at perfect timing. Congrats for this wonderful photo!

This photo holds a beautiful mix of emotions. The boy's face shows a smile of genuine happiness through what are probably experiences of grief. It's a smile of hope. The photo has wonderful composition with lighting and more that is perfect. A perfect example of what hope looks like. Congratulations on this wonderful photo!

This photo speaks a thousand words. He seems so excited to be having this birthday cake, and probably feels loved by the people around him celebrating his birthday. There's clearly some reason more than it being his birthday that he's excited to be getting this cake on his birthday. I imagine there were many people in the room singing Happy Birthday. Congrats on such a wonderful photo!

This photo shows anger and so many more emotions. This photo expresses emotion so strongly it cannot be ignored. Not only does the photo show anger, but he looks straight in the distance as if there's something or someone he's not happy with. Congratulations on capturing this emotion so well!

This photo presents such wonderful emotion. Surprised and happy! Though the emu doesn't show much emotion, this young woman presents emotion that makes you feel as if you're there in the moment! The photo is framed nicely and there's great composition. Congrats for this wonderful photo!
