I love the lights and the colors in the image. I'm a little bothered by the composition, but I'm not sure what would make it better. I like the blue sky, so I wouldn't crop very much of that out (perhaps a little), and I really like the waves on the right, so I wouldn't crop them away either. I think the thing that bothers me is that the lit scene is all in the lower left quadrant of the image, and it is too close to the edge. I think it perhaps needs more dark space on the left and bottom to balance out the picture. I'm not sure if the part of the town to the left of the picture is darker, but I think if it was, perhaps a bit more should have been included.   Posted: 03/09/2025 12:14:49
Hi Alex, I think that this is a great image. I think that the lighting is fine. I do like the crop that Pete did, I think there was a bit too much dark on the right side. Nice job.   Posted: 03/13/2025 16:43:06

Lights, lights, Great shot. A presentation of a fair at night give of a chance to appreciate the moment. I have to agree a bit of cropping of the right, would have added a bit more impact. Actually showing the wave color is very nice.   Posted: 03/26/2025 18:05:45
Good shot of the county fair. The Pete crop does make an improvement in the image. Some of the lights on the midway seem overexposed, I wonder if there is any other way (other than the 3 shot exposure set you made) this can be avoided?   Posted: 03/26/2025 20:00:46
