Untitled #1

My final photo from the Rogers Santa Claus Parade. I wasn't sure if i wanted to post this since it was so similar to yesterday's photo (at least in composition). But the more I thought about it, the more i felt that this photo was different.

The child in yesterday's photo seemed more oblivious to her surroundings... maybe too young to really be aware of what was going on. The child in today's photo was definitely fascinated (maybe even somewhat confused/scared) with the parade based on the expression on his face. Also, joan mentioned in yesterday's comments that she liked how the child's hand was on her father's head. The hand in this photo was one of the main reasons why i liked it. This child seems to be aware of the concept of "falling". His hand is open and pressed against his father's head, but not clenching because he seems to feel secure that his dad will not let him fall.

Anyways, all in all, i liked the expression on the child's face, his hand, the sense of security, and to of course his bright red fleece outfit.
