Ferris Wheel in the Trees

[ChrisH]

I wanted to shoot when the wheel was turning to try and get some motion blurbut unfortunately the fair was closed.

I like it better when you crop the banners at the bottom out of it. I love the clarity, brightness, vibrancy of it.

Nice composition - lseems a bit overexposed to me. I'd try to darken the whole thing without losing
the sharp and crisp look.

[ChrisH]

Here you go Donald - cropped as suggested.

[Donald]

I prefer it. What do you and others think?

[ChrisH]

Thanks for your comment Werner - I have slightly adjusted the exposure but don't want to go much further

Hi Donald - I am inclined to agree with you, the original version was a bit cluttered and distracted the eye from the Ferris Wheel. The cropped version seems to make the coloured cars on the wheel stand out more.

Very colourful. I think Donald is right -- if you crop the banners the shot will look better.

I'm with you, Donald. The crop really makes the picture.

Christopher you could try rotating the camera or using the zoom mechanism to imply movement.
