Personally, I still can't believe that folks are really trying to define
"street photography" according to what lens is used. It's quite silly,
actually.... don't buy into it, David. Call your photo whatever genre
you'd like. If you say street... then street it is :o)

Anyhow,

There's a lot going on in that photo: the two women twirling, the kid in
front, the "Fear God" sign in the back, a ton of pedestrians, and a host
of other elements. What's interesting to me is that the smiling lady in
black and denim (dead-center) steals the photo and grabs my attention
immediately. Otherwise, the main problem for me is that, without the title
(street dancers) and subtitle (2005 Seattle Pride Parade), I'd have no
clue of the context and hence no clue of what this photo is really about
(but then, for some, that may be perfectly okay).

On a more positive note, I like the inclusion of the kid in the
foreground. Dunno why, but that element works for me.

Thanks for sharing.
