Twist 'n Twirl

A contribution to Smurfie's Friday's theme. The colourful horses of the carousel at the beach side in Bournemouth. Here I like the vivid colours and all the twisting and curling lines.

PP work:
Shot in RAW, transfered to JPEG, no adjustments, only crop and framing. The outer colour frame is made of the twirled picture.

Hi Hans,
You saw rightly, a carousel is a good choice for this theme!
And your presentation emphasizes more le twisting lines. Great colors and brightness. Really a very good idea well done! Bravo! Annie.

Excellent capture.
A bit nightmarish but still very pleasant.

hello Hans,
a vibrantly coloured contribution to the theme.I like that the frame is filled with horses. The gold support poles have a barley twist too. ( a name we gave to sugared barley twisted sticks that we enjoyed as children).

Hallo Hans.
Erg Mooi opname en hele bijzondere kleuren. Is wat aan de drukke kant maar op de kermis hoort dat ook.
Knap werk.

Vooral dit brede kader met die lijnen er tussen maakt de twist wel heel apart.

Fits the theme perfectly, Hans. Well done on colour rendition here, it really looks very lively. James Leigh... I prefer Jamie Lee, if you catch my drift ;o)
Nice work, apart from the framing, that is... but you know my opinion about that so don't worry.

Hiya Hansie

Oh WOW I love this, full of colour and nice and sharp, really well seen and shot for the theme, nice PP work in the framing too

WOW!
Hans! This is fabulous!
Your close-up works very well. Mine was taken from a greater distance and can't be posted without serious compression problems -- so the tighter close-up here is a superb solution to the problem
Great work

HI Hans,

Great addition to the theme! My mind feels all "twisted" just looking at all of the variations in your photo. The frame even adds more twists to this interesting photo. All of the details of the twists and curls remind me of those large "all day suckers (lollipops)" they used to sell at carnivals.

Enjoy your weekend, Lisa

Hi Hans,
This is a nice colourful shot taken from an excellet POV, good details and a great idea to zoom in tight on the horses, I hope you trip over here was good, I just got back late last night.
Well done
Regards Andy

Let us hope this appears Hans, TL went crazy and appeared in a vastly different format than normal! Lovely colours in the image and a worthy submission to the theme. I have seen a couple of the older style carousels in my travels around Australia.

Hello Hansie :)

I don't know why the page for your shot has a different presentation ... curious ... never mind :)

Excellent idea for the theme ! So vivid colours ... amazing close up and great frame, very original !
Good job my friend.

Bisous, Marylou

I like the colours captured, the orange looks great. Good framing and details.
Best wishes,
Achim

Some natural twist and twirl of colours here.

Little PP work in this one, and that's what I like about it.

Hi HAns,

Great shot! I like the rainbow of colors, the very good POV,the good detail and very good composition. The creative PP work with the PIP is very nice.
