Wow, I like that. I love the geometry, and it's anchored by the person in the lower corner. Nice work.

I like it as well, but maybe it's just me, I think it is a little dark in spots. Like in the top right quadrant of the shot. Overall though, I really like it.

killroy is not just trying to be a killjoy. It is a tad dark for me also. Nice shot overall!

I like it doc, good vantage point

Good parade shots to by the way


I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

I agree with Killroy it is a little bit dark for me but a great composition and well done for spotting such a great photo opportunity.

Thank you

I'm looking forward to shooting this year's parade too. Last year I had to leave for work 2 hours BEFORE the actual parade began

Thanks for the comments everybody.

The reason for the dark picture is my "if it doesn't add to, it detracts from the picture" philosophy.

By making it black achieves 2 things:
1) increases the contrast between the lines and the asphalt.
2) removes the detail/contrast from everything else

This way the viewer is forced to look at the lines.

It also might be black because I think I calibrated my monitor at night and then increased the brightness forgetting to adjust it back. But that's unlikely. :D

That's the point. I don't want you looking there at all. ;)

Our parade is one of the largest in the UK i missed it last year as i was away, but i intend to be here for it this year. Ideal event for street photography

Nice capture, the high vantage point really works for this shot. I like the dark tone of the pic, gives a somewhat gloomy city feel. I'd like to see the pic directly posted here though, easier than clicking a link.
