Comment from Larusminor


I like your picture: very "summer", festive, colorful.
Somehow it reflects some of my favorite " things to do", when I take pictures of kids at the events: show as much of the colors and movements, but not the faces, for various reasons

so i would like to say: I appreciate your picture very much, as it gave me great inspiration at the very right time: I am currently editing my pictures of my kids on the same " mary goes around"

Thank you

You did a great job getting a high key shot with this photograph. Just having the riders as the point of interest without other distractions works very well here. You have nice subdued color which also works very well. Very creative.

So cool that you are able to create this from a photo. It so resembles a digital or traditional painting to me. The action is great. The color is brilliant and eye-catching. The white background makes this pop.

At first glance, I thought this was a colored drawing. Very nice high key photography. A fun composition to view. Great action shot with excellent clarity and color. Very well done. ~Alveria

Very nice photography Allan. Great technical excellence and technique. I feel the FanArtReview stamp takes away from the picture. Background white is perfect for bringing out the darker colors of the chains and seats. The clothes on children are very colorful. You can feel them going around in circles. Very nice job.
