Photographer’s Note
Edgware Junior School had it's Summer Fair today. Luckily, despite the build-up of the clouds, the rain stayed away and it remained dry and warm.
There were stalls, a disco, a bouncy castle and a raffle.... and a chocolate fountain, which was the main reason for me being there!
Cropped, resized, adjusted contrast and added a border. I also ran it through NeatImage to remove some noise from the sky. I inadvertently underexposed by one stop so I had to brighten it up a bit.
Thanks for looking

Hi Vicky,
I am sure this is one of rare photographs on TE which shows all clours known to us.
Everybody from kids to the sky is busy.
I observe you like colours; dark, vivid and strong. Thats why we all are here.
Sky seems to be your favourite subject and it listens to your lens everytime you click, be it a high overcast or a sunset.
Regards,
rajeev

Great contrast between the dark powerful skies, and the varying colours of the fair.

Hi Vicky,
Nice to see a photo of an English school fete here on TE. I'm sure many many Brits would take this view for granted, and not even think of capturing it with a camera.
I find the different grades of grey in the clouds fascinating and they provide a terrific DOF. Together with the people in the foreground and their activities, this makes for a great composition.
Well done and TFS.
Regards,
Steve

I have been wondering if such scenes are common elswhere in the world. From one of two of your critiques I guess they might be uncommon. There is so much to see and the people represent our multi-cultural country. Possibly it was unintentional but the fact that 2 boys facing front are in the centre and most other people are looking elsewhere gives the shot a kind of symmetry.

Hi Vicky

Good job

Hi Vicky, I hope all is well. A nice candid scene from the school fair in which all generations seem to be in the middle of enjoying the proceedings. Well-contrasted colors and a good moody factor contributed by the dark-ish layer of clouds in the sky, and the resulting light underneath.

I love the sky in this one. particularly since it's set off so well by the colours in the foreground.
