I thought these (fairly) recently repainted tyres would do for a hyper-saturated shot; it was just lucky that a kid chose to sat down... he was sitting out RunTime. ;-Þ

Perfect title for this. The mostly central composition here works well.

Pow! Bang! Kabaam! That's a serious color explosion! What a fun subject to do some hyper-saturation!

Cool shot - I think I would have cloned out the yellow bars along the top left edge though

I don't mind the yellow posts, but the trees are a bit intrusive. Otherwise great idea. I like the hyper sat. on the tires but not on the boy. One fairly easy trick is to duplicate the layer, hyper saturate the new layer, and then carefully use your eraser to show unsaturated areas below (e.g., the boy's skin and around his hat).

Love the colors. Maybe a little more active POV?

these are so pretty and lively

here in VT they leave them the ugly black

much nicer for kids, your version! I like your long clear DOF

I like your thought process here. These tires have potential. I'd be curious what the background is going the other way. The trees and yellow post to the left are a bit distracting. I need to find me a park with huge tires in the ground. I'm not a fan of the hyper-saturated shot, but I am a huge fan of those who try new things. Keep em coming. DOH-moh ah-REE-gah-toh (I Love Japan, I spent some time working at the Embassy in Tokyo years ago and of course being a Marine, I've spent my time in Okinawa.)
