This is another in my series taken in the Midway (where are the games and rides are) at the Canadian National Exhibition. I hope you’re not completely bored with it yet – there are only a few left :). This is one that I had left over from last year, one that was just screaming to be let out. LOL
I was strongly tempted to clone out things like the electrical wires visible between the letters but opted for the realism. I may play with it at some future date though, because the colours are so much fun.

Tech: Captured in raw and adjusted levels, contrast & saturation in raw with PhotoShop CS2, converted to jpg, cropped slightly from left and top, resized, sharpened and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your critiques, workshops and suggestions. Have a healthy, happy, and safe week.

Yes, this reminds me of the forums as of late! Nice details here, really nice colors, very BOLD colors. I would love to see this lit up at night! Nice work Silke!

Hi Silke

Good colour contrasts between the blue & yellow. I haven't been on one of these things since the 80's. Perfect sharpness & composition. Tfs!

I really love this series, so very cheerful! Superb colors!! I can feel my spirits rise just looking at it. TFS and have a smiley day!

The wires are not really bothersome here I think the bold bright colors of this kind of take your mind off any flaws. Great shot. TFS

Hi Silke,
The colors are awesome. It took me a while to find the mouse in this photo, but I did finally find it. Its actually pretty obvious. You got a good point about the wires, they do look a bit ugly, but hey they are there....
Beeing that this had a great old fashion feeling to it, I am wondering how it would look like in black and white.
TFS,
Niek

hi silke, the contrasting colors are very striking, nice and sharp image too, neat to look at,

Silke
Saturation of colors is most appealing to my eyes, followed by the composition. Like were you placed your signature. At first I thought it was in the original picture until I look closer. This has been an impressive series, are there more?

Hi Silke, you just nailed this venue,the colours are vibrant the sharpness is tack sharp,no question as to what were viewing,your images would look great in the presidents or general managers office.

Hello Silke !

That ''thing'' is still operational (LOL ! ) I remember well the old Belmont Amusement Park in Montreal in the 60's and 70's. They had one similar . The prehistoric ages of roller coasters.... But we did have a blast many time in it .

My godfather was living next door to the Park, and we visited him very often.


Let's Go Crazy ! Crazy is indeed very eye-cathing here against this rich blue sky. Well observed, spotted and composed . Not sure if the vertical corrections would have madk it better. Maybe with screaming kids in the car, would have made even crazier.

Take care !
Robert

Hi dear friend,
not bored :) I like this series with vivid colors and mood.
without the electric wires wouldn't be so funny anymore :)
Best wishes,
Ioana

Hello Silke


Beautiful presentation
rich in the details in the colors and of beautiful definition.
A great toy for children and for adults.
Beautiful shot!
Congratulations!

Sérgio

Bold colours indeed Silke and the POV possibly the best. Nice detail and well cropped. At 345am I see some noise/jpeg artefacts in the sky above the 'Crazy' but not unbearable,
David

Ciao Silke, splendid composition with fantastic colors, very well done, ciao Silvio
