Hanging Around, a photo from Vermont, Northeast

Photographer's Note

This goes with the YoYo picture I posted yesterday. I took this shot earlier in the day when the sky was bright and blue. This is at the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction, Vermont, which ended on Labor Day (September 4th, 2006).

I cropped the picture a little to the left and bottom and added the frame.

Hi Harjit,
You know in my comment the other day this isn't quite what I was thinking...but I really like this ...okay so its not as dramatic as having the deep blue cloudy sky and the lights and the motion blur....but this has a very joyful atmosphere....there is a real slice of Americana here in those plastic swings and dangling feet. There is less glitz and Glamour here than recent funfair picturtes that have been posted but this is more honest and orginal...I think it has feeling
Cheers
Mark

Hello Harjit,
I like the idea of your photo, very fun and playful. Photo is sharp all the way through and you have frozen the moment well with you fast shutter.
I would have liked to have seen the swings/people follow through continuously (not cropping the figures on the right) capturing all the people from the little girl in the bottom left to the man in the top left. That is just me being picky though, and has nothing to do with your thoughts and ideas when capturing.
TFS

So another VT round and round ... I like this closer look too. Wish I could be on one myself. Good work.

Have a good day, Barbara (just before work ...)

Well done

Hi Harjit. Dynamic composition, filled with movement and colour. Nice light and excellent sense of balance in the way the action goes from left to right and then in reverse order. Well done. Regards. Klaudio

Hello Harjit
This is indeed a very good photo..your POV is very different & you've caught the people in a beautiful arc. There's a beautiful sense of balance & the ropes provide graphism to the image. Good cropping & excellent composition

Angshu
I'll be right back:)

This is an interesting shot with nice colours and good POV. I would prefer to see all the chairs on the right but I understand that sometimes we only realize what we have done after when we analyze the pictures on the computer screen. Well done.

Great shot - really good timing, colour and exposure - not the easiest image to capture and this is really nicely done - just really well framed - I liked this a lot.

best wishes Kev

Harjit, c'est très agréable à voir ces chaises et leurs occupants qui semblent voler dans un beau ciel bleu. Le cliché a été pris avec un bon POV et les couleurs sont superbes.

Greetings Harjit.
Excellent perspective you have acheived on this shot. The arch of the swings is very dynamic and the colors on the seats and clothes contrast well with that beautiful sky. Good cropping and frame with excellent balance.
Very well done,
Chris

Well done Harjit,
This is a terrific POV and executed ver well.
A great timing and the graphics of dangling rope is a treat to watch. Wish I could entermy PC and reach here to enjoy the meery go round.
I fully agree with yourcropping the bottoma and the left side.
