    Sweet shots, Shaun! clap.gif

    I'm really digging #3, but I wish the circle was complete.
    But 4 is just plain awesome, so it gets my vote! Excellent comp and great colors!

    I like #4 also, but it feels like it needs a little more space around it. I'm going with #6. Very nice set.

    I like #3 the best, although all are good.

    #3 is unusual with it's non-typical patterns, that keeps my eyes entertained longer than the rest.

    They are all good Shaun, but I think I like 3 and 5 the best. Is there a theme?

    Thanks everyone!

    Dan, the theme is simply "Fair." So technically it could be any photo of a fair, from a deep fried Twinkie on a stick to a Jersey cow. :D

    This was my first attempt at long exposure with amusement rides. I think I'm leaning towards #3, the Zipper, with some of the black at the top cropped. The ride created an interesting light pattern.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks!

    This was the final image I selected. I came away with 2 first place images this month.

    And Caleb (my 9-year old son) tied with his photo of the fair, "Big Yellow Slide."

    I was going with with 2 or 3. 3 being on top.
    Sweet you placed with that one. It' a great shot.
    Very nice your son placed with his. An excellent take + in that lighting. thumb.gif
