Nice idea with some great color, motion, and shadowy blurs. But this is not my idea of an abstract image.

One of my favorites, excellent capture.

You know this photgraph has so much color and activity. Only when you star directly into each of the "rides" can you see that they are in motion. I really liked that...not only are you giving the viewer a kicker with the colors, and subjects but, once they look deep into the photograph will they realize that the rides are in motion. Very nice!

its not quite abstract enough for me, sorry

Why is everyone ignoring the "abstract" component of this topic?
 03/28/2009 07:16:18 PM
Not an abstract. Which is not to say it's a defective image - it's not at all - it's very good and could well be some type of commercial stock shot - it's just not an abstract.

Nice job capturing motion. Maybe if you focused on one of the rides and cropped everything else out it may look a little more abstract.

Nice shot.

The clarity in this shot is awesome. 7

I like the left and middle rides--I wish you would have cropped out the right third of the photo--it really doesn't add much.

Seems there are different takes on the words 'abstract motion'. In my opinion the abstract part should cover the whole picture (Google 'abstract motion' and look at the pictures).
Abstract is: art in which the subject is represented by shapes and patterns rather than by a realistic likeness.

If you had cropped out only the two spinning wheels, it would have been a perfect abstract motion.

Motion=yes
abstract=no

Nice motion capture. Might have cropped a little tighter on the top and the right side.
 03/26/2009 04:49:15 PM
Yes they look like they're out of control, I wouldn't won't be standing around they break loose.

Very cool and very successful in capturing "abstract motion".
 03/25/2009 04:57:38 PM
Very interesting theme. Beautiful composition.

Nice exposure, could be more "abstract."
