Hello Judith!
This is a very colorful and fun image at the same time since you managed to capture the joy of those boys and the bubbles that come out of the water gun add more fun to the image.
I also like the spectators who are on the right of the image enjoying this moment, they are all part of this party.
Nice picture.   Posted: 04/04/2024 05:35:13

Judith, the Pride Parades are taking over the world. Every time bigger, more colorful and noisier. Indeed the two "straight" guys in the front make the story, and the bystanders complement it. Very sharp and great colors.   Posted: 04/04/2024 15:55:34

I do not see these two men as straight because he the sign says "Straight was my Phase" meaning he no longer is staight but gay. Karen Kohn   Posted: 04/15/2024 18:32:45

The bright colors do make this an eye-catching story that would not otherwise be as strong. The composition includes the setting so the viewer sees what is happening, and the focal point on two of the parade participants also makes the impact strong.   Posted: 04/07/2024 09:03:20

A wonderful HI image Judith, it has a great story about these men in the march, it makes me smile with their joy and cheekiness, they are clearly the main subjects and the whole image is technically sound, and has lovely colors. I hope this one might do well for you.   Posted: 04/11/2024 01:36:25

What wonderful, sharp typically gay colors this photo has. I also like the happy expressions on the two main men. There is even a gal shown on the right taking a photo with her phone. What a happy and "gay" photo. Karen Kohn   Posted: 04/15/2024 18:37:38
