[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The midway is in town and each year the rides and attractions are here for a ten-day stint. The event used to be called 'Klondike Days' but the name was changed this year to rather dreadful, 'CapitalEx'.

From a Raw photo, contrast altered & cropped in Photoshop.

Hi Doug,
Here are that people rebound on the clouds for better advancing, that has the air rather feeric... Good composition and sharpness.

Nice and sharp picture, good colors, good POV, and a nice freeze of the people in motion. Looks like the clouds are also formed in a circular manner almost wrapping the ride.

Hi Doug,

nice picture!
Wonderful perspective! People seem as if they were fliying in the air close to the clouds!?
Moreover the combination of colours is great..
Regards,
Andrea

Excellent angle de prise de vue.

On a l'impression que tous ces gens sont comme des pantins attachés au bout de leurs ficelles.
Beaucoup de dynamisme et de joie qui ressort de la photo.
En plus la qualité et les couleurs sont au rendez-vous.

Bravo

Hi Doug,
Excellent point of view makes this scene a kind of unreal. I really like strangely decorated 'big mushroom' and different figures of people, especially a guy at the top left that looks as a giant due to distortion.
Great work indeed.
Vedrana

Hi Doug, great choice of POV and exposure. The arc made by the clouds is really beautiful. Only a bit distracting the other wheel on the right low corner, but the shot is great.
Bye,
Stefano

What a fantastic shot Doug!!!!
Excellent perspective and great effect.
Beautiful composition with the dominante blue sky and great huge clouds:)))))
I just love it!!

Thanks, Agnieszka

hi doug,
this is a fantastic shot. composition,movement,colours... everything is ok!very pleasant picture.

Nice use of the wide angle here Doug, the slight distortion/curve that the lens gives is consistent with the circular ride. Great colours as well.

Hi Doug, fantastic perspective and capture of such a wide scene! Love how the curve of the clouds seems to mirror the path of the swinging people flying by.

Excellente composition...
J'en ai la tête qui tourne...
On se croirait sur le manège tellement ta photo donne le tourni...
J'aime bien les nuages qui accentue le mouvement du manège
Bravo
Vince

Oh, this is a great picture, Doug, you have found such a wonferful POV so that the clouds frame the roundabout. Excellent colours and sharpness. Good work!

Cheers
Alexander

Beautiful Photo!!!

Valeria Italy

Bonjour Doug

Hi Doug,
Great angle, and nice that the clouds follow the circle laid out by the flying chairs.

Just seen this picture. It's a grat shot with a nice pov. Like the angle of the attraction. It seems that clouds are pushed away by the motion of the attraction.
Very nice shot.

Great shot, especially the POV, then the colours, sharpness - nothing is missing. But the composition and POV are best. regards
Pawel

Wow, just an all around great photo!!!

POV, color, composition, sharpness, detail are all excellent. Love the sky also. It almost looks like the sky it being effected by the whirly ride and the clouds are spinning around it.

Great work.
John

Hi Doug,

great image! Perfect POV, the circular clouds seem to partecipate to the composition.

TFS!

Gio

Hi Doug,

Absolutely perfect composition. What I like most is the sky - the clouds seem to be turning as well! Superb colours and depth of the background.

To my favourites!

Cheers

Very good perspective. I also like the shape of the clouds, it creates the concentric circles in the picture.

Hi Doug!

Hi Doug,
what a wonderful shot!really good POV!

Vivi

Hi Doug:

This is the most thrilling pic I saw. You captured the right movement. And the cumulus clouds are so helpful in making the entire composition of the photo so captivatingly beautiful!

Good Work.
Joscel

Hi Doug, I love the low POV & the elongated effects created, the composition is first class & the way the people look like they are following the line of the clouds is very effective, sharp colourful detail & excellent light, kind regards Wilson.
