nicely captured, the DOF works well good.
Looks like the chap on the left has forgotten his instrument, so has started singing, the chap next to him is thinking 'please stop doing that' :)

This works well for me because of the randomness of the grouping, well and tightly framed to enhance the clutter, and the elements of the uniforms which tie it together with just enough repetition. Good one. BTW, as an instructional comment this early in the challenge, it would not have worked if the marchers had been better organized. -tv

Oh, I'm not bad looking or anything, but wish I look like the middle guy. Rod looks like the first guy, ha ha.
