Hi Brian,

The consistency of the colors red, white and blue is just perfect.
I like the play of geometry here: lines, triangles, cubes, circle/curves, rectangles and squares.

Nice lines and composition in this one. Somehow the image comes across as simple at first glance and busy upon further inspection. Good job.

  Simple yet busy. That’s an interesting observation that I hadn’t thought of, but completely agree with. I appreciate the feedback.

I’ve always loved attractions wells. They bring me nice memories of the fairs of Andalusia.

Born in Chicago, and lived in the southern suburbs for 30 of 34 years, and never got the chance to ride it. Although it looks quite scary. I moved to Minnesota, so seeing that beautiful photo, reminded me of great memories at the lakefront!

  I’m glad that I could help to rekindle fond memories. Perhaps on a return trip to your hometown, you can ride the Ferris Wheel. The bark is worse than the bite, so no chance of being scared. Thanks very much!
