I had expected to see this one up in the top 10! I gave a 9, and felt it was one of the strongest photos from this challenge.

I think that would be grounds for DQ if I removed it. That thing is a skeleton which is all around his mariachi hat. I wanted it in there because it help symbolize the parade he was in plus composition-wise I thought it worked as "death" appeared to chase him, which I found interesting.

Anyway, thanks for the comments!

Is this a self portrait? If so, I sure hope you went out into the public dressed like that.

Great framing, nice b&w within the color format. Great shot helped by the DOF and backlighting. This will ribbon, hope I helped.
