Jim Evans:

"This was a classic f/8 and be there situation. Maybe f/11.
"We got a call from the family that this processional was planned, so I arrived early, scouted the route, picked a clean background and waited for the tractors to roll.
"The cloudy weather made it easy to see this somewhat complicated scene."
