Poised for action

Very nice moment and capture.

I don't like the use of blur in this image. First, it's not the natural bokeh of a good lens and small f-stop, but rather something Photoshopped in. In some places you can even see the edges--abrupt shifts from sharpness to blur. Second, I would've chosen to make the girl, and especially her eyes, tack sharp. Despite these distractions, her costume and make-up are nice, and I'm left wondering why at least three people are dressed like pirates!

Ron ,thanks for your input. I guess I did the blur in a bit of a hurry but you have now seen the other photo of her in action  which explains why there are other people in the parade.
