Anyway, this was supposed to be a documentary project. I didn't really have anything to document, so I documented a surprise birthday/pool party. I chose only pictures from the pool because they are all blue, and I wanted the photos to look like a set (considering they are supposed to be).
I wish I could show you how they were arranged for display. Sorry that I can't =/

I like the first, second, and last pictures best. If you want a thorough critique, let me know (though I'm not the most qualified for critiquing photographs, I can still give input).
Otherwise, the whole theme/set thing you intended came out very well. Coincidental?
I'm gonna get all nerdy and such, because I've been doing nothing but documentary work for that whole newspapery thing. *waves hands at the past*
Anyhow. This was done well. Choosing pictures from the pool was a great decision. Makes the set feel very cohesive. You also include a wide variety of emotions and actions. You weren't afraid to go close which is too often the fist misstep of any documentary photographer. And you took a step back when nessicary. All in all nicely done. I'll stop nerding out now.
On a second run through I'd like to say that taking another step back might be a good idea.
Though the fact that you didn't take a larger shot of the event implies that you want a feeling of closeness and containment.
Actually strike that first statement. I like it better without a wider shot.
