A magic frame for that beautiful composition, Sharon. feels like the exploding colours want to break out. The difference between the moving colours & two persons standing still is one of a kind. Philosophical & great! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I never tire of these light and movement shots, all the fun of the fair!

I can relate to that lil'girl... every day is so important (synonymous of Unimportant when growing-up)... and those colors are like candies out of her mouth, turning wild & sweetly at the same time. Seems she's waiting to take off with the merry-go-round, like a space-ship, a fairy-tale's one. I like the mysterious distance between her and the man (dad ?) as if each one had to respect the other's total absorption here in some dreamy vision... The fair itself looks like some giant dancer in a dress knitted with light wool (and whirl ;) I could look at this image for hours, especially as i do now, all lights off, just my laptop screen light on. And i can feel your presence in distance too behind them, to complete this family of sweet dreamers... Thanks for the tour, i enjoyed it whole, Sharon, sincerly*

What a magical swirl of color. The little girl is waiting her turn to ride in quiet anticipation. Ride those magical lights!

Une explosion de lumière particulièrement efficace ! Ces 2 silhouettes attentives donnent de la profondeur à la photo ! Très réussi !
8 Oct 2010 11:48am
beautifully done, I like very much the silhouettes against the colorful lights!

beautiful colors! I like what the long exposure did here
10 Oct 2010 7:14am
We don't see often colors on your blog but this picture is splendid. The little girl wants to have a ride...
10 Oct 2010 8:35am
The beautifully colourful background first attracts attention, but then the silhouetted figues com into play here. They seem to be transfixed by the view... Or at least you lead us to believe it to be so.

Very beautiful! Absolutely magical in your light capture and the poignant silhouettes.
11 Oct 2010 7:26pm
