Little Marty Graw

Manitou Springs, CO

I had to compress this shot to JPEG level 3 to make it under the 150K limit. That's the most compression I've ever used posting here, so this must really be busy.

Thanks for the comments, Penny & CJ. This shot was taken at the annual Manitou Springs Mardi Gras parade. No particular reason to have one, and its usually pretty cold, it just gives everybody a reason to get out of the house and get weird. Its a photographer's dream. I have lots of shots during this parade that are quite busy, but I liked this guy with his three attendant friends. Thanks again, -mikey

This is so funny, very busy and extremely colorful.
And you're probably right about the compression/busy ratio.
