In terms of pose "interestingness" I think this one wins,but I prefer the colour version. In this version I'm quite comfortable with the tonality from the knees down, but above the knees, it's just not gelling for me - I think it's the wall, maybe too contrasty - sorry, I can't quite pin it down. Private party or big school function?

Indeed a lot of plants for one room, but that is not wrong at all. Very nice shot.

LOL I think some are dead right!! What an amazing spread and really well documented in the wide format.
