Colonial Musketeer

Memorial Day Parade shot of passing fife and drum corp member. This was one of those "grab shots" that you set quickly and hope for the best. This was taken from the curb as she marched past. Sorry, couldn't control the background busy-ness. Any thoughts on framing? This is a straight scan of my dektol/MGIV print.

Hey Joe,
Great to see that you are out shooting... This is a nice shot. I'm not sure that a square crop would help you here... I just wished you had held the camera vertically... that would have given you more of a natural crop...
 
I was really looking for more of a head shot here. I was hoping to get more of the fife and drum corp into the frame, but alas, it was not to be...they were spaced to far apart.

There's always next year...
