 I was surprised to find out that UCSB has a Lion Dance Team Link

There were two dragons, one red and one yellow. As part of the dance, the children got to pet the lions. The finale had the lions holding UCSB banners in their mouths.

That's great how you caught the kids interacting with the dragon. Sorry, lion!

I think this has the potential to be a great picture but something seems off to me. It seems a bit over saturated maybe. I see lots of red in the skin tones and almost like haloing around some of the childrens' heads.

Nice - I'm really enjoying these photos. All the kids' hands reaching for the lion - that's a good catch.

What a treat for the children. At that age you could almost believe the lions were real even though you know they weren't. Colors are great.
