    I'm dizzy just thinking about it!

    I like the motion, and even how that lady is stationary. Neat!

    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    nicely done on the technique and i like the idea here of juxtaposing the stationary woman against the moving carousel. i think you have some compositional issues, though. i think it would be stronger if the woman were just a little bit further to the left in the frame and maybe larger in the frame... as is, she is kind of tucked into the coner almost like an afterthought. the carousel is so dominant that i think it would be better to either see this without her in it, or with her in a more exaggerated role.

    edited to add: in terms of the theme i really like the carousel idea!

    Thanks guys.
    The reason for the way it's cropped is because on both sides, there are large garage doors with very bright sunlight shinning in. I was just trying to get rid of that bright light.

    I got a couple more, seeing as we can go back to the 11th.
    I was at the Ford Museum on that day.
    See if there's anything you like here.

    I don't really see the connection to the theme with Carousel - it doesn't jump out at me.
    The Beach Boys' car is a cool piece of machinery but it looks a little soft. esp. the supercharger.

    However, I like Fog lights alot.

    Fog lights would be my choice also, although I would consider cropping a little off the top. The expanse of brightness leads my eye out of the image.

    Best of luck!
