I remember seeing this somewhere and I love it. The high key treatment works extremely well here. I especially like this photo for this theme because it conveys joy wihtout us having to see it on individual people's faces. Many of the people are reaching out and waving to people below, so it's clear that they feel really free and are loving the ride. Great job.

Fabulous abstract feel and great job on the processing.

Really like the composition of this shot, it is very very striking.

I think it may be a bit over exposed though since some of the features of the people are blown out. If the theme were just about the form of the shot this would be great, but I'd like to be able to see the expressions of the riders a bit more.

Thanks for the comments. The shot actually wasn't overexposed at all...the sky behind the swings was oddly blank (no rides going up at the time), and it was overcast, so I decided to try something different and convert to b&w and really up the contrast to make it a little graphic in feel. Have a few more of these that are normal (in colour). Thanks again!

I love this shot, but at such low resolution and on my monitor it looks pixelated. It's probably just the high contrast. I bet this rocks as a print.

This does a really nice job of capturing joy. Loving the negative space and the shapes it creates. Nice job.

Nice shot of people having fun. The contrast is striking.
