    I like her smile and her pose better, John. What is NOL?

    Unfortunately John, this one has a couple of major attention grabbers in the two lower corners, but these would be tricky to remove now - and difficult to predict/avoid when shooting too.

    However, the shot does successfully give a feel of the event and the placement of the subject in the frame is good too.

    Hi Dave,

    The fellow at lower left was included for humor. Yes a tighter crop or portrait mode would work better. Thanks for commenting.

    Hi John I love this image.Although the bottom right corner distracts a bit, I really don't care as I'm impressed with the lady and I can feel the event. May be desaturating that corner would help.

    Dan,

    This was taken in July 2015, there was a Stiletto Race and it then turned into a block club party. Thanks for commenting.
