The first thing I ask myself when I see this picture is "Why is everything red? is it because the town's "colour" is red? or did it just happen that way?" It works in this case though because it fuirther aids the leading line from the bottom right to the middle left. I see bystanders only on the left side, which is fine. The cars are sharp (from what my monitor shows me). It's also nice that the cars are at almost the same distance in the picture.. and old cars are so cool to look at!!!
I find the bell shaped object at the top left to be really distracting as well as the traffic lights at the back... Not much you could have done about the lights.. but the bell thing could have been cropped out. Overall the colour and exposure looks good. Good job!

Good PJ shot. Looks like the front page of a small town paper. It seems just a bit fuzzy though. DPz

Beautiful photo. Looks like a very nice little hometown. Love the old cars. Would hope the article tells us a little about these vintage vehicles. This is a town I'd like to visit, just from the photo. Great job. PTL10 All the photo technics are right.

Excellent shot... I think you did a great job of photographing this parade... I also particularly like the shadow being cast here... including the people on the left edge of the frame makes this image even stronger... very nice work :) BTW- please help support this site by commenting on photos. The photographers really appreciate it! if you already comment on photos, comment on some extra ones :) - setzler

Is it just a coincedence that all the vehicles are red? I like your picture! Good luck.
