Thanks Susan, always fun watching the reactions of children in crowd. There are over 80 floats so they put on a great display.

Comment from supergold
Brutus is pretty in pink; a good idea to have the two little girls in Brutus arms: it gives an idea about the size; I Wonder how they could climb;
excellent sharp focus;

Thanks Fred, it was huge float and being scared of heights you wouldn't get me up there - probably have a ladder or something for them at start, my sister-in-law used to be a regular in parade in the 1970's and enjoyed it tremendously.

Comment from nikman
Quite a nice fun shot posted here. Those two girls certainly look as if they are enjoying themselves! Your central composition gives us an enjoyable look at the scene. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

A very nice shot. The two girls are fantastic and the gaudy colors are nicely balanced by the natural background. Very nice composition and fine details.
