Challenge: Pure... (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenges 2007
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Wiesbaden, Germany
Date: Jun 8, 2007
Aperture: f/6.3
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Candid
Date Uploaded: Jun 12, 2007

 I don't usually enter shots so similar in back to back challenges, but this particular outing yielded good candidates for both Candid and Pure. My Candid entry is the better photograph, but this one is a personal favorite, as a memory of the outing for one thing. These folks really were having a great time. The lady in the corner rode more than once and was just as delighted each time. I really did enjoy shooting this, but no, did not ride - I don't like things that go in circles. :-)

Very minor editing - crop, slight levels, slight selective color, bit of brightness/contrast, sharpen, resize and add border.

It's wonderful how everyone in the shot is so transported by delight, especially the youthful gestures and expressions of the two on the right. I can see why this is one of your favorites!

What a fun pic! I have to tell you tho, what really caught my eye first were the two people on the right. The man and woman giving praise just cracks me up. Great catch!

Looks like everyone is having fun in this picture. Great work, did you get them to do that or do you know them and tell them to do that when they went by???
