In Philly, at the Mummers parade.

I had plenty of pictures of the Mummers in elaborate costume and all, but to me, this is the city.

I really like this photo, so I thought I'd give it a shot. That's confetti in the background... for those who don't know, the parade is in south Philly.

Hope someone else likes this... not expecting a lot, it's my first try at a challenge.

editing:
-resize
-brightness

Great facial candid. It sort of has that desaturated and low light that might have gone just a stop too far.

Nice picture, but I would've made little more basic editing into it or brighten up littlebit.

exposure seems a little off and there's a heavy gray color cast

Nice moment, seems a little dark and limited view of the 'city'

I love the expression on the boy's face. A little more light would have helped this out a lot, I think.
