About	These were taken July 2007 as part of a Nicaraguan religious tradition in Miami, since the sandinista's comunist revolution in 1979. http://www.historical-museum.org/folklife/folknica.htm "...The Toro Huaco is the only large-group traditional Nicaraguan dance performed in Miami. It employs the ancient indigenous music of flute and drum. While the slow, repetitive, ritualized steps of the dance make it somewhat monotonous, the elaborate masks, peacock plumed hats, and costumes provide a feast for the eyes. ..."

Excellent observation Eb. I did focus on the middle dance, since I was using a 100mm lens. I think I also have one with the first dance as the AF point, but there were some distracting items that killed the composition.

Thanks for the critique.

Colorful and interesting detail, Ed! As an alternative, I could suggest rendering the nearest subject sharp and allowing progressive blur into the distance, as this gives a greater sense of depth.
