Party at church

This looks so fun! My eye was immediately drawn to the man in the middle, though he is a bit blurred. A higher shutter speed would've done nicely, but pictures like this have a charm I just cannot resist. Well done!

I would've loved a bit of context. I think you should use a faster shutter speed and, though this is probably just my personal preference, boost the colours a bit. Good job on getting close and trying to bring everybody in the frame!

This must be one of my favourite pictures! I love the colours, her smile, especially the reflection in her sunglasses! I usually go for strong, saturated colours, really bold, yet I find myself enjoying this bright and almost pastel colour scheme. Well done!

I'm sitting in a cafe, on a cold, rainy British day, but your picture just brightened this place. It's so simple, just a person smiling at the camera, but it captured me immediately. So much feeling within so many stones, it's mindblowing. Fantastic job!

I love going to African churches, people have so much fun there and there are so many great opportunities to sneak around and get great shots. Scenes like this are fantastic because they just pull you in and they're so candid. Well done!

I had a bit of a hard time with this shot, but I couldn't resist the way everybody is so random and then there's the woman smiling at the camera from the shadows, it just made my day. I love it!

I wish you would've caught him entirely and your picture is not completely on brief, but I absolutely love the contrast between the orthodox church (especially since I grew up as and orthodox myself and know a bit about them) and this guy having fun and dancing and dressed up in that amazing outfit. Well done!

I like the way you took the picture, from the back of the church. It's always a bit difficult to do so, isn't it? Your shot caught my, maybe it's the contrast between the dark, sombre church and the green, which is quite a jolly colour in my opinion. Well done!

Ahaha, I love your shot! From the people in the background, having fun, to the baby in the right corner, photobombing the whole thing. It's fantastic! I don't say it enough, but people should really go to African churches more often, they're great places for amazing candid shots. Well done!

Removing colour from a photograph is a great way to let people focus on the subject without being distracted. I think your shot makes great use of that little trick. The person in the middle, looking at the camera, face covered yet obviously smiling, catches the eye and then the rest of the people come into focus and it's just so wonderful, you know? Great shot!

I find your shot impressive because it reminded me of how interesting it is to be the odd one out in specific environments (my mom would dress me up for church in outrageous outfits, like a satin corset with a syntethic gypsy skirt). While churches are usually quite straightforward, with people dressed in their Sunday best and formal and many times plain, these two are just amazingly posh and fancy and I just love it! Fantastic job!
