Hey, Ken, thanks for sharing this wider version. I especially like seeing more of the funnel cake truck. That's such a cool lens.

I'll be travelling through your part of the country towards the end of next month, and I hope to photograph some good midwestern Americana of my own while on the trip. I'd love to go to the Indiana or Illinois State fair, but unfortunately they'll be over by the time I pass through.

Cheers,
-- Larry in NYC

It's a great macro - love the DOF. What's that underneath?

The nice shallow DOF makes this really interesting to me, makes me think about the true dimensions of the objects in the image. What I mean is, my brain expects the leaves at the bottom of the image to be at the same focal plane as the wood in the bottom of the image (good 2D brain), and yet they are not; the water droplets high up on the central leaf are at the same focal plane as the wood at the bottom, which is just not what my brain expects... :-) I love how this made me think about the reality of the scene!

Wow, if only my bad luck produced such amazing results! This is gorgeous! The vibrant pink against the deep green looks lovely; gives a low-key sense even with that pink... again I am mesmerized and cannot stop looking :-)

Very pretty sky, love all the booths, this one makes me smile! I know what you mean about the crop, I have that Sigma 10-20mm too and it breaks my heart to crop many of the shots... :-) But this square crop looks good too!

Water drops always work well, and we haven't seen too many of them recently. They make a nice change from flowers.
