Color Me Rad run in Eugene. Don't know how it will do without faces, but it seems to convey emotion to me. Maybe I'll get the attention of the underground on this one...

  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/23/2013 08:24:22 PM
Wow! It has been a long time since I've had a new entry on my profile page. It was as high as 7.72 at 100 votes, but dropped some at the end. This was not a Holi festival but rather a 5k run called color me rad. You can see more pictures of it at this link: //dailyemerald.com/2013/04/13/photos-color-me-rad-5k-run-thrills-hundreds-in-eugene/

As good a Holi celebration image as I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. I do hope my fellow voters will not trash it because of a lack of faces, because this is nearly perfect,
