Each photo in this set was very original, showed a different school experience, and evoked emotion. In particular, the coastal shot and the final headdress dance photo were both spectacular, pulling this entry to the top for me.

There is something uniquely interesting about each of these photos. The positioning of the theater photo. The posed photo of the three teachers (how many tries did it take to get that basketball just right?). The joy on the soccer player's face after what I assume was a goal or game win. The sun shining through the trees in the campus photo. And the smile on the young student's face during the parade. This photo collection made me feel like GFS is a great place to be.
Great overall set of photos depicting life at the school. Love the light and perspective of the opening shot, as well as the pure joy in the final one.

This group of photos had a few really great shots. The photographer caught a runner in mid-air jumping through a stream at exactly the right moment to catch the water falling from his shoe—and on his face, the exact expression I'd have if my foot was wet and muddy! Loved the photo of class outside in the hills.
