Well, I thought it was nice, but you guys are really giving me a big head. 
And my wife was chastising me for not doing more chargable work to pay for
all my gear.  

To answer some of the questions and comments:

Scanning - I like scanning B&W better than color transformations.  The
tonal balance is smoother, IMO.  I use a Polaroid scanner, which seems to
be better than the Nikons at B&W, due to it's cold, diffuse light source. 
I've only been using Delta 100 and 400 these days.

Subject - This was a the 2002 Memorial Day Parade in Westfield, NJ, where i
live.  Every year for the last three, I just take 2-3 cameras and walk with
the parade, taking pictures of the crowd, photojournalist style.  My family
is in the parade as Girl Scouts, so I get out of the be-with-the-family
lecture.  The little girl in the picture was riding with her family in one
of the parade cars and she stopped next to me.  I had time for 3-4 shots,
two of which were just like this one.  I actually gave my card to her
mother and asked her to call me and I'd send a print, but I never heard
from them.  I should look them up.

Technical stuff - The top of the car was in diffuse sun, so that's the
reason that it has burned out.  I kind of like it.   The shot was shot at
f/4, if I remember right, which really popped the focus point out.

Thanks again.  I'll post more stuff.

Nice. How do you find scanning Delta 400 vs. scanning color & turn it into
B&W?
