Love the reflections of blue in the tuba tops!
I like it. I played with the idea of cropping out the flag which distracted me for a bit. Nah. I like the whole feel of this photo. Great capture of a happy Fourth of July Parade.   Posted: 07/08/2024 16:38:08

Parades usually yield some good images, though the backgrounds are often too busy. The three horns and their players dominate the scene, but as. we read left to right I was immediately drawn to the half face with eye on the far right. I would suggest cropping it back to just behind his ear.   Posted: 07/11/2024 14:42:38

I really like the image, the reflection of the surrounding environment in the tuba bells adds an interesting visual touch. I agree with Jon on cropping of the half face on the far right.   Posted: 07/17/2024 18:50:42

The reflections really help this image, gives more stuff to explore. Cropping to the right might be a little challenging because of the flag. Did you try toning down the brighter highlights in the tubas?   Posted: 07/24/2024 17:42:03
