San Diego Mardi Gras (Posterized Photo)

San Diego Mardi Gras (Posterized Photo)

We went to Mardi Gras in San Diego. We were hoping for more music, maybe some samba to really get the feeling of Carnival in Brazil, but it was fun anyway. This image began as a photo taken with my cameraphone during the parade. Today I cropped the image and fiddled with the contrast, then opened it in Painter IX. I used digital pastel to get rid of some advertising signs that I didn't want, then posterized the image. Now I have another souvenir, along with all those Mardi Gras beads.
