Hi everyone, I guess I've been here and there online here lately. Seems like life sometimes gets in the way! Not that I'm complaining as I've been spending some great time with my family and my husband this summer. I got my camera back so I can't wait to get out there and start using it again ( I've been sick in bed for 4 days now though with the flu...dang it all anyway!)

Anyhow! The photo was taken this summer while I was on a short trip on my husbands ship. We were in Sandusky, Ohio and decided to take a trip into Cedarpoint park to play minigolf...hmmm by the time we got there it was pretty pricy though.
Taxi Ride to the Park $20.00
Fee for crossing the bridge to the point $10.00
2 games of mini golf for 2 $14.00
a couple of refreshing beverages after the games $30.00
Taxi Ride back to the ship $20.00
Whooping my husband at mini golf twice...priceless!! :o)

Hope you like the photo, the image was taken through one of the many roller coasters there at the park.
I just resized it and added a border, then sharpened it up a bit.

Hope this all finds you well, I look forward to getting caught up and viewing all your photos!

Donna:o)

Hi Donna,
What a fine composition! All the different lines makes it an attractive picture. You have had a good eye for this view. Super colours, excellent framing!

Hi Donna,
nice patterns/shapes. The image is nicely finished with the backlighting and the crisp silhouettes.
perhaps it may have worked even better without the diagonal bit - top left. but that could just be me.

Well done.
best regards, Daniel

Hi Donna,
I'm out of smileys, so I'll have to come back tomorrow, but I couldn't let it go unsaid how great a shot this is, with the metal grids over the sunset. The darker clouds accentuate the sunset, and your note is priceless as well!
All the best,
Karen

Hi Donna,

Been to Sandusky and Cedar Point many times, although it's been quite a few years so I'm sure it's changed a lot. Your price list was, well priceless! Just be glad you didn't want to go into the amusement park itself - you'd go broke.

Anyway, great picture - I love the graphical quality with the beautiful warm colors in the background and the strong black lines of the rollercoasters. Like Daniel, I'm not sure about the diagonal in the upper left corner...I kind of go back and forth on it. I think it adds some context because without it, e.g. if you had cropped it away, it might not be apparent that we were looking at supports for a rollercoaster. So in the end, I guess it's good that it's there.

The foreground elements in silhouette are also a nice touch, and give the whole image a sense of scale and provide a nice bottom frame.

NIcely done - and congrats on beating your husband in mini golf!

Hello Donna,
Good graphical representation!
The structures are cleverly used to make strong silhouettes on the sunset background, the dramatic sky makes an interesting background!

Hello Donna,

In this image the uniqueness is the selection of point of view. An excellent placement of the range finder. Beautifully composed moment in an awesome composition. Excellent photographs my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this.

Nicely composed Donna with good lines and curves. Soft colours and bold silhouettes. TFS,
David
