Spent the day walking around the City of Chicago. One of my stops was Navy Pier...a wonderful amusement facility for families. Here's an image of a young lady having the time of her life.....

Great moment, well caught in speed, DOF and lighting. The angle is a brillant element of the composition.

Wonderful shot, Frank! Really captures the moment!!

Gale and Christian,

Thanks so much for your comments. I had a ball today shooting whatever came along. The girl in this image was yelling, screaming and flailing her arms around. The ride extended upward and spun around very quickly...who wouldn't have fun riding that ride?

 

[Terri French]

I really love this. Very creative composition. You were lucky you caught this expression. Very, very fun picture.

 

[PGB]

This capture rocks! Very neat composition and effect of DOF.

I like it frank!

Terri and Patrick...thanks for the complements. I was certainly in the right place for a change!!!

Awesome shot!! The diaganol lines really spark the image.

Thanks Justin,

When I was walking up the stairs to see the kids on this ride...I sat down, switched lenses and blasted off about 30 images. I was hoping to find someone who was having a really good time. This young lady looked to be quite content with her ride. The centrifigal force of the spinning ride created a neat effect for me. A little sharpening and cropping....Bam!, a cool image to post!!! I had a ball shooting yesterday!!!

Hey Frank - I love that shot - as others have said, the diagonals really put an extra dimension into the image.

Excellent composition and it suggest a lot of movement.

Thanks everyone for the kind words...I had a great time trying to capture the kids enjoying themselves on that ride. I seem to sit and stare at that image, the chains that hold the swings offer an interesting feature in the shot. It was a good day!!!
