I like the compo, light, POV ... I like it as a whole! Bravo Pascale !!!
And it's the HP test print... Well done! It looks so pro. All those prrrty colors! Positioning too. Perfect!
Some advice would be not to walk behind it, thats what ive been taught when i was younger...horses can kick you Pascale. Other than that i dont think i have any more advice, i think you pulled it off with honours. Its a difficult shot, alot of similar colour on the horse and in the background. Your DOF brings out the horse perfectly. Have a most beautiful day #:O)
Oh, this is so nice...is it horse to ride? Did you enjoy yourself last night?! I am sure you did!!! Excellent shot!*****!
Super ! funny! merry go round ?(i am not sure of the english word)!I am not james ,but jean- pierre,and a very good horse too!
Only advice would be to hope you took more of entire carosel. Great crop for this shot.
Beautiful DOF shot! I like this!
fantastic color and detail!!! i love how shiny it is and how it blurs as you look to the background, very well done!!! excellent capture!!!
A real fine Portrait of James :]
WOW, he looks wild! Love the colors and shinyness, i am like a magpie, love things that shine and glitters :-)
wow, this is a real cool shot!!! Well done...so colourful...love it
awesome shot artistically taken of these fair ground attractions.. beautiful clarity of shot and colourings ..excellent m/s uk...:)...))))))))
it looks alife
Fantastic Shot To Be Sure!
The carousel is still now; As if some merry race of fabulous steeds stands frozen in time. No more the cacophony of calliope music enmeshed with shouts of laughter, only the sough of wind. Limned now only with moonlight, darkened, hazy, otherworldly, shadows that seem to move play amidst the deeper shades. Painted ponies, eyes wide, hooves poised in mid-gallop, lunge as if bored with the endless circle they are destined to travel.
Verrrrrrry impressive, Pascale!!!!!! i haven't taken any pics of these at night...just during the day. Let me tell you i find them quite challenging...all the lights, mirrors, movement, reflections...not easy. You did a helluva job with this, girl!!!!! would make a wonderful poster!!!!
~~Picture perfect in every form...just excellent!~~
James looks like he is champing at the bit to have fun. A frighteningly human smile. Like the royal famnily perhaps. I like imagining the attitudes of these things as if they were real. I know, childlike (probably a bump or two on the head...! ) LOL.
Nicely done - can't offer any advice I have looked at this merry-go-round many times knowing it would make a great shot but I have never been able to get one as good as this one :)
Makes me smile... a wonderful reminder of childhood! Thanks for sharing, Pascale!
a wonderful detail. fantastic colours. an excellent capture,Pascale. !!!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!!
So very crisp and clear. Very colorful! VOTE
very clear and a happy image
Splendid clear sharp photo. beautifully done Pascale :^)
hysterically beautiful...!
James is one happy looking & colorful carousel horse... i want one!! right in the middle of my living room.. :] sweet shot
oh look, its got my name on it:)...has to be super cool horse and shot ;)
I haven't seen one of these merry-go-rounds for years ... brings back memories... Such beautiful colours and compo
Very cool Pascale! I love how you subtly effected the backgroun, maybe a slight desaturation would have been nice too? Looks great!
Never knew a horse named James before, but horses and I don't get along very well anyway. They instinctively know that I am scared of them. Great golden lighting, the carnival at night is a magical time!
