The carousal is so ornate and beautiful. You've done a wonderful job of capturing it Ray! I really like the way that the leaves on the tree in the background look against the crispness of the white sky as well.
As tick mentions, I have seen carousels before, in particular a refurbished one as a major attraction in a small town here in North Dakota (the last place I'd expect to see one) but the fact that this one is a double decker and exceedingly ornate is new to me. Plus, I'm seeing more than just horses for riding here. A unique capture, with good comp, focus, color, and light. High marks.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
