[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The parade held in Fort Worth , Texas to start the Stock show and rodeo is the largest non motorized parade in the US. The parade is all horses (some 290+) groups and bands. And what a mix of horses there are--horses, donkeys, mules, jennies, long horn steers , even a mix of a donkey and a zebra. It was just great. A real challenge for all the horses with all the noise from the band.
There was a real mix also of cowboys, Indians, Mexican gauchos and civil war buffs. This venerable old Chief was in the carriage leading the parade.

I decided to reframe this shot as I felt this frame would add more punch to the shot. What do you think?

Hi Joni,
Long time don't see your work!
This is a fabulous composition! The close-up gives a strong effect of proximity!
Excellent eye contact with the chief! The unity of colors is splendid! One of your better photo at my opinion! My compliments! Annie

Hi Joni,
Nice to see the Indian with Cowboys. Yes nice tight reframing. And the colour suits the theme.
