Dragon Day Photos

Here are a couple of my favorite pix from the Dragon Day Races in Cambridge. I like the movement in the first - the ribbon, the dancer's crossed legs, and the body of the lion.

The second puzzles me a little. I'm not exactly sure what I like so much about it. I like the look on the girl's face, the fact that hers is the only face shown, and the hand leading her. I found it very difficult to take pictures of moving subjects and I struggle with issues of privacy and consent when it comes to snapping photos of people in crowds. I wonder whether other photographers have struggled with the same issue.
