Photographer’s Note
These are just some of the Street dancers during the Dinagyang Festival 2005 in Iloilo City last January, it's like the Filipino version of Mardi Gras in New Orleans or the festive parades in Brazil. This is very significant festival for the people of Iloilo because it commemorates their Christianization when the Spniards brought Christianity to the island. It's a whole day long of endless parade of dancers in garish colorful, eccentric costumes that also represent the different tribes at that time.

Hard to capture their expressions, with those hats. But still very interesting and 'in the middle of the action' type shot.

Nice! I love the way you showed perspective; big (foreground) to small (background). How I miss the Dinagyang!!
