Love the expressions in the crowd - everyone is singing along. It's hot, it's sweaty, it's crowded, it's loud - and everyone is loving it. Very impressed you have kept the exposure throughout. No idea how you have managed that so successfully but well done!

Wow such vibrant colours and so much going on - its almost like one of those "Where's Wally" jigsaws! Really interesting photo. I like how there is a space around the men at the bottom of the image which breaks up the solid mass of people everywhere else.

Nice technique and really well executed - makes me wish my camera could do multiple exposures in it! I like the composition - I like how some people are very transparent whilst others are solid. Really interesting image - well done.

A really imteresting image - well spotted. Nice use of a shallow depth of field to bring your attention to that one lady. Her breath is perfectly frozen by the 1/400th shutter speed. I can just feel the cold.... Might have been nice to show all of her hand in the frame, or if not, maybe bring the edge of the frame up a bit so you aren't cutting through the middle of her hand with the end of the frame. Great shot, well spotted and good choice of settings

Very clever use of colour grading to mimic the painting - a great idea which works really well. Obviously this is out of your control but it would have been great to have a couple more people in the centre turned toward the camera just to mimic the painting further.

This is a great image. I love the implied "crowd" with their shadow whilst the boy is nicely positioned in a pool of sunshine and is wearing red so really stands out. Well done waiting for this moment to happen. It was well worth your patience!

A fantastic shot. I love the colours, the haze of powder on each side which frame her and her body's expression which says so much. All this makes them really jump out at the viewer and then when my eye does start to look further round the image I see the man on the right looking at them and my eye goes right back to them again! Love it. Well done

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Crowds provide interest on a macro and a micro level. It’s fascinating observing and shooting the mass of a crowd, the coming together of so many souls into one space, to watch, celebrate, cheer, demonstrate. Images can be packed with many stories and much energy. Closer-up, individuals in the crowd can provide a focus for observing crowd behaviour, and the intensity of emotions that often comes with being in a crowd and at the sort of places they converge.
