I really love this image. No really - its amazing. BUT, the neat image really ruins it for me. All the texture is gone. Would love to see the original.

Quick! He's being sucked into that Vortex!

something very jarring about this photo - but in a good way, in a sense. It really sucks you in (no pun intended). The bright and shiny colors become garish and are at odds with the emotion felt (carnival! yay!). And the spin of the ride only adds to the tension. Somehow, I believe, this carnival ride is one from hell. Maybe its due to the shadow of something being 'sucked in.' I think the crop is a little off on the left but I wasn't there so what do I know. Very intriguing image to say the least. Somehow, I could sit here for a while and ponder this, but I must move on...

Its definitely the colors that make this image intriguing. Love the use of the fence.

good black and white conversion. Gets a little muddy in the background/mountains but over all a great tonal range. The top 5th of the sky could be cropped with no loss - maybe even a strengthening - of the image.

Follow Steve's Footprints, And You Will Find Him

looks like midnight sepia processing. Or gaussian blur. Except for the slight funky at the top right from the processing, I like this image. I think the footprints make the image (many people don't consider adding a 'human' element). Well taken.

very, very pretty but doesn't hold my attention. It makes no demands of me. Did make me stop and comment though - extra point for that. Yes, often pictures can just be. 7
