    i settled with this

    Maybe clone out the diagonal white at the top right, a bit distracting for me personally, otherwise great ...

    The lad at the back looks bored as, and he's looking at youtube. Probably not what the school had in mind (I assume it was a school that requested the shots).

    The front four are great though. You nailed it with those expressions.

    **EDIT** What was the brief you were given?

    looks great and does exactly what it says on the tin, get rid of the lad in the background as already mentioned, regardless of what he's looking at he looks bored as hell and doesn't add a thing.

    The one you posted is def the best of the set by far imho

    how would o clone the window out with any sort of realism? i'm thinkin of blurring the screen, but i kinda like the guy there to contrast a bit

    Looks really well in news print too - often you can't say they did a nice job in the reproduction but in this case it looks great. At a nice size too. well done.
