Nice perspective and focus on this. The continuous line of trucks leads one into the scene, as if one is taking part.
The lighting is clear and crisp as is the depth of field and focus.
What throws it a bit is the border. Not sure why you chose this particular one, it distracts a bit.
Overall, it is a nice shot.

What a beautiful and nostalgic capture! I love your treatment of the photo, with the fading edges, making it seem like a memory recalled. Lovely! Thank you for sharing.

First responders are the heart of a town. The line of vehicles attests to that. The focus is sharp and all of the vehicles are clearly visible. The use of the watercolor filter, vignette and lens affect make the photo more eye catching. Well done.

A very nice nostalgic moment well captured. Good color and interest in the shot. The vignette works to give an old time feel. I think the image needs to be leveled. it feels a bit out of kilter to me. A well captured moment. Thank you for sharing.

Nice capture of the parade, but it could be more interesting seeing the front of it

also, the photo is too bright in some areas and this distracts

thanks for sharing

I can feel the pride of the this little town, as the fire trucks roll down the street. Such a sense of patriotism in your picture. I love the whole look to this one.

This is a nostalgic scene that reminds of the paintings of Norman Rockwell. Fire trucks in a parade are so Americana and the vignette border adds to the nostalgic feel. It makes me want to live in a town like this where residents probably know you by name.

I love this one! It reminds me of my childhood when we would go to parades in the small town I grew up in well presented with good focus, the image is clear and well exposed, colors are natural and true, effectively edited, this brings the viewer right in as if we are at the parade ourselves.. I like this a lot!

I especially like the way you have edited this photo Mary Eileen. With the water color vignette it is just like peeping into another world. I also like your POV creating such fine leading lines, and I also like the crisp and clear colors.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in all the vehicles, and the exposure is spot on.

The photo is nicely cropped and it is a very good balance in the composition. A great looking and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.
