What a great perspective! Outstanding capture and presentation Nikki! #1496182Bob Cournoyer November 03, 2012
Well seen/composed... :-) #10401981Terry A. Stoa November 03, 2012
Good catch, Nikki! I sure like the symmetry and colors. The red cars on the Ferris Wheel look great against the fine blue skies.It would also be fun to see this as a twilight or night shot.
