Like the colors and sense of vitality, would like to have more perspective on the parade, the human spectators, and the 'city'

very colorful but without the people in the background this would hardly fit into "city life" in my opinion

nice parade shot. Parades are hard to shoot well. there's something poignant (and fish-like) about the foreshortened raggedy ann face.

It's a very colourful, exciting shot. Personally I would have cropped differently though - either moving Wendy (is that the characters name?) off-centre or perhaps including more of the crowd watching. Have a look around for "Rules of Thirds" and try placing the characters eye in a thirds-corner... See if it works for this shot or not. Other than that, well done.

Your photo makes me smile - parades are indeed a part of city life. Good, colorful image.
