Donkey (?) Parade

This was shot in the town of Miguel Calmon, during the Horse and Donkey (or ass, I don't know) parade. If anyone here knows the translation for jegue into english, please tell me.

This is certainly not my kind of territory: too many people (most of them drunk), too much noise, and too many scared animals trying to kick your face in... I had a couple of very close encounters with donkey's feet that day.

I did not come out with many good shots of that parade, and I'm unsure of this one. The negative is bit damaged from processing (it got stuck to another roll when drying, and some gelatin transfered to its surface), but I'm mostly concerned with composition/light, etc... This print is on the flat side of things, but I don't know if the scan shows it.

The truck and the building are very distracting. Crop it about through the donkey's head. This would make the rider the center of interest.
