Carousel horses hold so much memories of one's childhood - they also symbolize childhood for so many that is why even as adults we are enchanted with them. I really like - scratch that I really love this shot for it has the carousel horse emerging from the darkness - like a pleasent memory coming to the surface. The horse itself is elegantly crafted and with the play of light and shadows we really come to appreciate all it's colorful features and the wonderful textures seen on it's strong neck. Wonderful job!
I dont normally like shots of ornaments/statues etc, but this is very niely done! Only thing i wish is that the wings werent so dark, with the title "Pegasus" I'd expect them to be a bit more prominent. But overall a strong entry
Reminiscent of an Andre Kertesz fairground photograph - I'm not sure that Riboud hasn't also shot similarly. So that puts you in great company :-) I like it.
wild treatment you've given this old workhorse! really like the way you've brought out the textures he's picked up with age. hope this does well for you. good luck!
what a high impact image that leaves you very intrigued and wanting to know more?
Great work I'm wishing you all the best for a top ten but not likely here.
I am not a member and therefore can't vote, but I saw the thumbnail and took a closer look. This is an extraordinary photo. It's going into my favorites right away. I love everything about it from the the lighting to the shadows to the negative space to the subdued colors. I do hope you make this available as a print and I can remember to order a copy if you do. Simply fantastic work. Good luck with the challenge.
