Fun at the Fair II

This was taken at our county fair at sunset, when the wheel wasn't spinning. It is cropped close at the bottom to eliminate the unsightly portapotties which were unfortunately right in front of it.

Angela,
I really like the image. The wheel with the sky is simply stunning. :toast:

Beautiful backdrop for the ferris wheel.

How dare they put the portapotties there and mess with your ability to compose. :biggrin:

In full disclosure, Harley, there were a number of compositional challenges at this location. I was able to use content aware in PS to get rid of an unsightly, tall light tower/fixture which rose up on the right side of the ferris wheel. (I'm sure if you look closer now, you can see where it was.) The portapotties, however, were a bit much to clone out so I didn't even try! My camera club was joking around that the carnies forgot to ask us where to place things so we could have the best views.
