Beautiful image Peter, lovely colours and reflections! #784915Peter R. Hammer November 12, 2007
Thanks Lynne. #5063950Alexis Yobbagy November 12, 2007
REALLY SUPERB capture of that magic light!!! Love the way you've framed this and your POV!!! Can't beat that gorgeous wide angle for a scene like this!!! EXCELLENT work my friend!!! #5064010Peter R. Hammer November 12, 2007
Thanks Alexis. The extreme wide angle is very good but it does create geometric distortion at the edges. I had to do some work to compress the ferris wheel to something which wasn't quite so oval. #5064162randy dannheim November 12, 2007

Wow...that water must have been really still. Love that sharp reflection. #5092653Peter R. Hammer November 18, 2007
Thanks Susan. It was pretty still in places or else flowing so smoothly that there were no ripples. #5092669Renee Doyle November 30, 2007
Fantastic pov, reflections and composition Peter!!!! Wonderful colours and detail - is the ferris wheel still there??Peter R. Hammer November 30, 2007
Thanks Renee. The ferris wheel I think is a permanent fixture. #5154164Wayne T. Fisk December 06, 2007
