Outstanding crop, Armin. I agree with Maurice, and you have captured the esthetic I was looking for perfectly. I could probably bore everybody with analysis and might still go for it but haven't the time now. -tv

A great classic image, with a moment captured perfectly, you get a sense of enjoyment and passion in this parade!

On topic as it is full of clutter and detail. I would prefer a crop that cuts out the blur to leave a unifying sharpness. I like the way all the strong colors and clutter work to balance the otherwise strong central pull of the face and eye. The pointing arm directs the eye away but the line of the arm and flag recoils back. Several competing points of focus and lots of good strong vectors makes this a visually powerful image only diluted by the fuzzy hair in the foreground. -tv
