I really like this shot, in some ways I think it says alot about New Orleans. After such hard times, the sun is starting to come out, people on the street dancing and making music... all about their spirit and community. I think the processing adds to this feeling too. One of those pictures that has a lot to say beyond the DPC score. Not to mention fisheyes are fun!
I like how the sunlight adds texture to the ground a lot. I also love the burst of colors coming from the sun. The whole scene is really very festive with the onlookers and musicians. Obviously that wide you can't control the flares but they're not too out of place with all the other colors happening. Maybe would have been good to see the woman a bit more...a more sideways pose. Overall effect is great. 8
