hello Babu, the motive pleases me, the night submission of the ferris wheel
in the entertainment park, unfortunately works in the second version the
colors so washed and the Brillianz is missing thereby, unfortunate for the
photo work, the focus should somewhat more strongly be, otherwise badly,
does not excuse my English, best regards, Manfred

Babu, compare with last submission I think the pic is OK, but suffer the problem of horizon tilt. Also, the car at the left side should be avoided, because the main theme is a wheel. Finally, I prefer to change the color in more cold tone (Blue in higher) by adjusting the level in Photoshop.

I think in this version the fact that you where a bit late doing this shot is even more apparent. The contrast between the lite areas and the sky is almost breaking up the shot, creating a black upper and a tendency of creating a void of light. Ok, that is taking it to far, but the point is there. As said before, I like the car, and I think it is a great contribution to the composition, of coure I would have liked to see just some more space too. Well, this time is is more visilbe, a plus. Your previous version was to my eya also a crisp/sharp. I think this extra touch lack here. The weel then? Absolutely ok, but I actually had even higher expectaions...

You've got some nice ingredients here, but I can't really get excited about this picture. Apart from what others already have mentioned (overexposed ferris wheel, tilt, close crop on car bumper, etc.) what bothers me is the lack of people animating the scene. This contrasts to the fact that the amusement park is operating (at least the wheel is) and makes me a bit uneasy about it.

Thanks Marco, for stopping by and sharing your opinion.
I agree with you that having people in the frame would be interesting and add
some meaning to this image subject, but as I have mentioned in my reply to one
of the critiques in my previous submission [Ferris
Wheel -I], the weather conditions were very bad and there were hardly anyone
to ride the ferry wheel. I guess the wheel was just illuminated but may be not
fully operating. And few decent people who were passing by, noticed me composing this
shot, stood away and waited with patience until I composed this one and I did
thank them :-).

Hi Babu. It's an interesting shot of an unusual frame; I like the colours and the little sensation of sadness due, maybe, to the humidity on the floor; I think that the tilt that I see of the image could be corrected, and maybe it could be better.
Regards.

Thanks Maria, for your opinion. I made some tilt correction at the left side (near the car) and tried at right side too, but that correction lead to cropping some details (especially the star) in the image, so didn't go for it.

hello Babu , with this second version from the night shot the old car is good to see in the foreground, through the clarification of the picture the bright and strong colors were lost , I find the contrast and the screen layout good
...best regards , Gisela

Thanks Gisela, for your critique and observation. Yes, because the exposure duration is longer (10 sec) than the previous one.

Gotta say...great job listing your specs for this image (now that's being thorough!). The composition works very well.
I like the car in the foreground & the wet pavement. The ferris wheel looks to be a little bit blown out. Also, I'd make the sky a true black but, keep the subtle glow from the ferris wheel (an easy fix in PS). I'd get rid of the slight green cast & brighten the colors overall slightly. Nice job!

You deserve credit for a good idea and a steady hand. I think a shorter exposure might have been more effective. You can't really tell unless you make several images. IMO the composition isn't best; maybe a more direct angle on the wheel would work better despite maybe some loss in the sense of place.

Yes, shorter exposure [like Ferris Wheel -I] would be effective and
would be more effective if the wheel was rotating fast. If you notice in this
one, during the 10 seconds duration, wheel has rotated only around 10 degrees.
Thanks Richard for your critique.

A great idea! The old car gives a good touch, but I think it is too bright the ferris wheel, dont you?

Yes, it is, I guess it is due to the high speed film (ISO-400). Ferris Wheel - I
is less brighter.
Thanks Jonathan for stopping by.
