P&P: Exercise 6: Review a Portrait Sequence

This subject of this portrait session is a rather animated human who in day-to-day life is likely at the most unlikely moment to pull a face or strike a pose.  For this session I had him sitting at a desk in a classroom, with me on the other side, my DSLR on a tripod.  Light came from windows to my left, as well as a bank of overhead fluorescents.  On occasion I prompted a pose - "a student just walked in" - but for the most part the subject used the opportunity to showcase his talent - unprompted.  Unfortunately, ISO and shutter speed settings were not adequate to the task and many images were marred by excessive motion blur.  A good example of this from a recoverable image is the one of the hands-up-surprised-face.  Fortunately, the eyes are sharp enough to make this one of the more interesting images in the set, though there were perhaps equally dramatic and interesting poses that didn't make the cut.
