Figurines

Spotted at today's memorial day parade in Washington. The bikers who were on parade yesterday were able to sit back and watch the military do their thing today.

I am annoyed at myself for not allowing more room at the bottom of the picture. I like to shoot fast and I almost never set up or stage my shots. But that means that I still struggle with framing or keeping my horizon straight or paying attention to what's in the background. Any tips from those of you who've been doing street for longer than me?
