Greetings from the Critique Club

First Impressions:
My first impression was, "Oh What Fun!" I really enjoyed this picture.

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
Someone mentioned in the comments that they didn't like the cropping of the wheel; but I really don't think it takes away from the image. Having just the tops of the tents and booths only added to the overall composure. In fact, for me, it shows how ferris wheels and carnivals/fairs are actually larger than life! I mean, think of the excitment that is generated when the fair comes to town. It's something that can't be contained!

Challenge:
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head.

Artistic/Emotion:
A very good artistic shot! I see you placed in abstract and digital art....what a good home for this image.
I just don't see how any one good look at this and not get a happy feel from it. It made me smile.

Summary:
I don't understand why this shot didn't finish any better than it did. It totally did it for me. I like the spots of color against the white and the blues are wonderful. I really don't have any suggestions for making this better because I think it's a GREAT image just as it is.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work. :-)

Back to comment: I'm finding the images in this challenge that start with a black background the least appealing to look at for any period of time. Overall, I like the positive of this image better than the negative.

Like the colours but find the composition and cropping of the wheel very distracting

Stands out well against the night in negative
