This guy is carrying a heavy omikoshi (shrine) with many other people in the Torigoe Festival. See my previous post for a wider view of a similar scene.

hi mike
this shot has great potential, but its too tightly cropped. so it makes it a good shot with unfortunate composition.
is it the original or is the original bigger?
if so I would recomment a different cropping. leave some more on the left and bottom. just so the eye will be able to try and look at what he is looking at.

I think a stronger crop is called for. I'm distracted by the unidentifiable 'stuff' at the right.

I posted a Workshop to let you see my idea. I also darkened the headband writing and brought down the brightness of the shot to make it a bit 'heavier'.
