Here in Toronto, the annual summer fair has opened again. I am hoping to be able to return this year, but I thought this image from my archives would be a fun way to anticipate my return :)

Hi Silke,

Indeed a lovely bright picture to show the fun atmosphere.
A few years ago Ad and I went for a ride in such a wheel and then my son asked the man who operated it to stop the wheel sothat his parents could enjoy the view from above - knowing full well that I really have a fear of heights, so I got sweaty hands and hoped for us to get out - I don't think I will do this again any time soon....

Hi Silke,
I Like the composition of this shot. The color in the wheel and the flags looks amazing. Nice crisp image. Looks like fun, did you ride on it?
Regards,
Kevin

Awesome shapes and visual against the blue sky Silke.
You have some great colors there too contrasting as well.
Excellent sunnny and fun feeling.
Well captured.

Great colors and sharpness, and as Linda say, the sky is just amazing, not many days like that here, nice when it can be captured as a memory forever.
Composition's good, and the presentation too but, just me, the crop seems really a bit too tight on the ferris wheel. Maybe there was stuff in the foreground that had to leave, that happens to me all the time, but just my thoughts on this.
No big deal though, just a preference, but nice work and great image and nice feeling too.
TFS,
Wilt

I only got to our fair here for about an hour and a half due to working, but THIS is the picture I wanted to take :) So, this is to anticipate my return next year too. In my eyes this is perfect, the colors, the detail, everything about it. TFS and have a happy day!

Hello Silke
I love the fun colors against that perfect blue sky... the flags on the left add more to the shot.. Perfect details..

Hello Silke

A magnificent POV here, wonderful sharp detail and superb colours.. that sky is just amazing. I like the inclusion of the flags bottom left as they give an additional focal point.

Hello Silke


That beautiful visual, here in Brazil we don't have
of these marvels, why don't I until today know!
I remember small parks in my childhood that you had
these toys, minors , but my father took me a lot
to walk in them.
Visual and good beautiful memories brought me.
Congratulations

Sérgio

Excellent handling of the light Silke, well composed and good colour. TFS,

Hello Silke !

Time to browse back , after missing quite a lot of images. I like this asymetric presentation, and textbook compostion. Neat colors well captured with the proper POV and use of polarizer.

Soon you will be top shape , and ready to enjoy a few rides yourself (^_^) at the next fair. Take care in the meantime.

Bravo!
Robert
