I agree with all the previous comments, and my apologies that rather than come up with a new comment I took a delightful side-trip looking up information about Mt Rowan, in part out of general interest in Australian geography and also because I visited Ballarat when my sister lived near there years ago.
From Wikipedia I got:
"Mount Rowan is a small extinct volcano on the edge of the city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It was also known as Waldies Hill.[1] It is 518 metres above sea level.[2] The lava flows from the volcano are thought to be from 2.1 million to 2.9 million years ago. It is one of the 123 volcanoes in the Ballarat and Daylesford area.[3] These are part of the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains.I .
Ha! There is so much to explore!
Love alle the kids but the girl in the focus is especially sweet with her focus on the racing crowd.
But I love also the racing manager with the circus jacket and especially the duck on the left peeking through
Again, I love how the square crop contains the chaos here. But in this case. Something about that equilateral framing just relieves the eye of the tendency to wander the frame too much and instead seek out the story within--and this b/w treatment really makes those ducks and girl's attention to them the clear focal point. Nicely done.
