Today was my first time at an Anzac Day march (only took me 48 yrs!), and I was moved by the event. I'm a WW2 buff, and actually seeing the men and women who served in the various theatres was a real thrill.
Here's a sample of my shots (click for larger views)...

I wish this was was a little less blurred

The number of people attending was amazing

Nice picks, I evenlike the first blurred one. The hands with the uniforms and insignia make for a nice effect.

I'm a bit of a sucker for detail shots, I think that good detail shots tell as much of a story as 'wider' more general shots. I like the reflection shot, would have been nice to have marchers in it, but still nice. The flag shot is also nice, good tone and colours, nicely done, a tad dark, but it really suits it.

I missed the marches as my wife was in hospital, so I'm relying on all the posts to get my fix. :D

I love the second shot . Excellent .

The first one looks like fantastic comp but the blur does take away from it in this instant .

I love the composition and repetition of the first pic. It's definitely the stronger out of the set. Great stuff and great effort at getting up that early to attend.
