Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo Parade

I took these photos in downtown Colorado Springs on Saturday. The light around 11am was very harsh but some images still came out kind of nice ..

i'm not a fan of this processing on people . . . except for the first two, which totally rock, and i greatly enjoyed seeing.

what a parade.!

Only one comment BUT ... I entered #2 and #3 (converted to B&W) into our El Paso County Fair Fine Arts Contest and got first place in the People Color and People B&W categories as well as Champion and Reserve Champion for all the Advanced Adult Photography categories.

Great photos, as always.

Some of them look a little over-cooked (for my liking). It usually works well on your landscape shots buy it looks a little weird for people shots.

Nice parade, love the quality of the pictures their just so sharp and clean. Did you edit these or are they straight from the camera?

The only one that I feel is overdone a bit is the fifth, all the others work fine with me, and I love the juxtaposition of the girl's expression in the last with the wording on her "float" - heehee. "Cheers! "

Very nice.
I find photographing parades is not THAT easy, the last I tried my hands on went by fairly fast! So although I set my camera on AVmode for the first time ever (stepping back from all manual to be quicker), I had hardly time to focus and they were out of focus or gone ... so: well done.

And congrats to the prizes!!!
You deserve them well!
