Straw man

West Indian Day Parade
I'm beginning to pick through the West Indian Day parade photos from last fall. I'm still avoiding the feathery shots but there are these other pictures of regular people that made a more manageable group to sort.

This had been a series so I could flip through them and they'd wiggle and dance. These two are what I managed to narrow it to with the criteria being whether they still show some motion on their own.

The light at this parade was such a challenge but also really fun to work with. I kind of lost the battle in the Ice man shots below but something like this where it's dark and light and near and far is fun to not totally botch. Maybe the whole thing could be a little lighter, a little more washed out in the back on the right to give a little more light under the tree on the left.
