Nice colors, some dynamics is presented too.

I'd like to see more of the dragon's head, otherwise the attention is caught by the tongue only.

Great colors and subject.

Very nice catch. I'm surprised there aren't more photos from New Year parades in the Chinese communities across the country.

Dragon not very sharp, composition would have been improved if the sign could have been evaded.

Great colors, nice composition, but focus is a little too soft.

Wow, was it snowing!? Amazing! The colors are great and I was hoping someone would be able to come up with a Chinese New Year shot of a dragon. This is a nice one. The only weaknesses are in the sharpness category (especially where the dragon's head is slightly out of focus except for the lower part (tongue down to beard).

Colorful and interesting subject, but the dragon seems out of focus,shame. Autofocus problem?
