Taken at a local county fair. We had just gotten there and saw that they were running the ride without anyone on it. I thought it was perfect to grab a shot with it completly empty. In fact, I don't think I ever saw anyone on that ride the whole time i was there. I think there is some bad history on that ride.
Post Processing - Not much was done. Cloned out some distracting elements in the background. Made the sky alittle bluer, raised the contrast, and then sharpened.

Brilliant color! Great composition! Wonderful subject for this challenge! One of my favorites. Only the presence of people on the ride could improve this for me.
This is a stunning photograph! The composition is strong, clearly featuring frozen motion, and the light accentuates the contrast of the strong colors against the vivid background of the sky. There is some loss of detail in the shadows/washout of highlights, but certainly not enough to detract from an exceptional photograph. Congratualtions on a job well done!
I Like this shot a lot! Really interesting subject matter. While the colors are nicely saturated, I think it's a bit dark and would liked to have seen it a bit closer up with a higher focal length even to the point of cropping out the right side of the photo, as this area is the darkest and also has the distracting flag and sign.
Really nice shot and a great motion capture. I think it would be nice if there were actually people on this ride and if you got a closer shot so that we could see more detail, but it still came out really nice like this. Good job.
