but I also think the edge of the table is a distraction. With so much detail in the shot, complications like a changing background hurt you. Like Bob said, a lower angle would likely result in a more-inclusive image, and tell us more about the background stiff like the beer and bottled water. This is fun stuff, great subject.

Simple but striking. Very nice.

Hate the name, love the photo. The color and depth here are wonderful. If you could corrent the warping at the bottom you'd something perfect here.

I love junque like this. Rusty surfaces and long-neglected aperatus. Nice find. Did you take any other shots of this? -

Love the perspective and light. Nice shot man. -

You get points for alliteration alone.

You need to diffuse that flash somehow. Her dress is a virtual hot spot and her head seems under lit by comparison. Also, there's so much dress here that the rest of her really get's lost. Cute kid.

Another one of your great captures. She's a cutie. Have you experimented with framing your candids more aggressively? For this shot, for example, you might want to crop harder from the left and put more space in the direction she's looking. I think you'd find the results pretty dramatic.

Composition is a bear at an event like this, but I think the chunk of whatever it is in the lower left hurts you here. Also, I am not sure the high angle is especially flattering to this Hawg. I am all about the belt drive, though.

Is that the shore, or mountains running throught he middle of this? It seems to divid this shot clearly in two, creating two seperate shots, and not to the best effect. I would lighten that spot, if possible, to removed the "deadness" there. The light and color here are other wise wonderful.

To really make something like this work, some element of this shot should be still, and in focus. Here, all your key elements--your riders, their faces, and the carousel is a blur, plus the background is a hot spot with nothing solid for the eye to fix on. Panning with a single rider and allowing the surrounding elements to blur might have been fun. I have tried this exact thing myself with limited success. It seems like it should be easy, and it's not.

Seems like too much to accomplish in a single photograph. The underlaying shot is lost--as the guy at the right seems unrelated to anything going on. How big would you make this? Anything smaller than 8X10 and all the detail is lost. -

These old German tube radios are wonderful to see in the dark. The multitude of back lit glass dials and glowing gauges create an almost Jules Verne effect. This is a Saba Wildbad, it was built in 1961. -
