The excitement of the fair!!!!

I went along to this fair hoping to get picture of some screaming children. I did get these photos but they weren't brilliant. This photo amuses me. Sure! The guy at the back with the red shirt is distracting but I had to be quick. I am sure the kids' excitement would not have lasted forever.

 

 

I think there's enough motion in the scene that the red shirt does not distract all that much - I was ready to write a comment without even noticing it, until I read your comment pointing it out. I think it is a very amusing shot, and tells the story of how these two were feeling at the time - though you can't tell why from the photograph (not that that's a problem, but if you wanted it to say "These kids are at a fair and they hate it" it doesn't quite do that). I think it's very nicely composed, if I could change one thing about it, I think that a tiny bit more depth of field so that the girl on the left is also in very sharp focus would make it a little easier to view. Otherwise great shot!

Fairs are supposed to be fun, happy, exciting places, and yet thes little girls expressions belie that commonly accepted fact-- maybe a little bit of trepidation in both of them. As an adult, I can see the humor in this photo.

This is a very funny shot. I believe the ride didn't start yet, they look bored waiting for the ride to start. I like this shot because it has the opposite effect of yr title...it's amusing!!

I wish this were a little crisper. But the sentiment it conveys is lovely.

Good composition, I like this photo

I don't mind the red - it gives more of a 'fair' feeling. Funny how the mind works - its obvious that they are on a ride at a fair so the red is not out of place, if it weren't for your comment I wouldn't have noticed...and yet I usually find my eye is drawn to the red!

Why are they seems unhappy? This was the first question I got in my mind. I think the shot is very good, but in the context of they are on a playground..is too contrast. Or is this what you want to bring out actually?

Anyway, I do like the facial expression of those kids.

Does the excitement of this fairground ride have you sitting on the

edge of your seat?

 

I took this photo a while ago but thought I would ask for a critique

on it. Actually I just want to share it with you as I think it is

amusing..... but comments ratings and critiques are welcome on this

or any of my photos!

This is a wonderful shot David, slightly more DOF maybe but the composition is perfect.

I like this one a whole lot

Love it. U captured the mood perfectly here :)

You seem to becoming a fan! This is one of my personal favourites. Thanks again for your input! I hope I can take more photos worthy of your comment and praise!
