these guys know what they're doing. every year they make a 300ft long dragon made of flammable stuff & stick it full of burning incense! What fun! Oh by the way I spent ages trying to crop this photo but couldnt give anything up - am I a loser?
I hear you about spending hours for seemingly not much in return. Whether editing slides, or using Photoshop it can sometimes be endless so it seems. But, when you get something special...it's all so worth it. Know what I mean?? This is a really nice shot. Composition, clarity and especially lighting are all excellent!
I agree with Russ, it is a very good shot. But something happend when I scrolled up the page in my browser to see the picture, while I'm writing the comment... I think if you crop it to the head of the small boy, it might work better... I don't know, it just a thought... Good work
