missing out on the double take
by posthumous

Comment by e301:
Jay mentions the first thing that struck me with this: the tonality straight out of the 1970s. Can't expect the digital children to understand that, I guess. It's all helped by the structure, and the lack of any of the impedimenta of the contemporary - where's the iPod, the cell phone, the PSP? - and the plastic-looking glass speaks of that 60's 70's shock of the new thing - as does the melamine-looking table and the scratchy man-made material feel of that bench seat. It could be the corner of some quiet road-side diner somewhere, and you'd have to bet that those kids have just seen some big-finned brand new motor car pulling up outside.

All that, and it's beautifully composed. They have their own stories going on here, but actually it's the impetus to imagine the surrounding family life that entrances.

This is a great shot, but I would have like a little wider view to get the top of the coaster if possible.

I love the pastel colors here. I would've made a mess of the colors in post-processing. I guess that's the beauty of this challenge.

I'm not keen on the green shimmer everywhere but I love the shot, the crop and focus on the poor tiger are good.

Was this taken from behind glass? Appears to be a lot of reflection. Focus is a little soft. Still a beautiful shot of a wonderful creature.

There's a slight look of fear in the eye of the rider but it looks like a Tea-Cup ride. Never get me in one of those...
