Slow Day, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

A very slow day for the amusements at the local country fair. Many of the rides had only a few people on them. This guy (the one in the middle :) to me seemed bored and frustrated, waiting for customers. Surprising since the wonderful prizes on offer ;)

Great capture. In some companies dull and colorless clothes can make you stand out! Well chosen angle that gives fine diagonal lines.

Nice picture Chris, the thumnail doesn't give justice to this image... Colorful I might say.

This is just great Chris. Under normal curomstances it would have been very distracting with so many bright colours and difrent things demanding attention. But in this shot it helps to build up a great potrait of this you man. It tells us a story and we know a litle bit more about him. Very well done.

Dear Chris, what I like best about this picture is the blue guy in front, without him, the picture would be only have as good. Do you notice that he matches with the guy in black in face emotion. Tweety looks very alive and probably just rotated her head into the same direction as the guy in black as they spotted something. You see by my comment the picture telling a story which makes it so good.

Too bad there is just not enough color in this shot ;)

This is a really good candid capture and this busy scene gives us lots to look at. I also like the bored look of the guy running the booth. I dont' think it would be possible, but it would have been nice to be able to situate him off the horizontal center. A very nice shot.

Beautiful colours Chris, it's fairground attraction. Lovely.

Le mimétisme des expressions entre la peluche bleue et le gardien de stand est vraiment comique ... en même temps Nemo le poisson semble se trouver une idylle pour cette créature bleue... Titi, très jaloux, s'envole à tir d'aile.
C'est drôle comme cette photo pourrait être le début de plein d'histoire ! Une image aussi parlante est une image réussie. Bravo !

the imitation of the expressions between the blue cuddly toy and the guard of stand is really comic... at the same time Nemo the fish seems to be a idylle for this blue creature... Titi, very jealous, flies away with shooting of wing. It is funny as this photograph could be the beginning of full with history! An image also speaking is a successful image. Cheer!

Nice moment to observe but I'm a little unsure about the composition - then I noticed the guy far right ...that figure certainly adds something extra - perahps a few steps to your right might have brought him a little more into the picture. I like 'fairwatching' there's a big one every year in the streets of the town where I live so appreciate some of the joys and difficulties of photographing them!
