auto program used, camera was hand held. right edge cropped for printing. no other editing was done. the ride spins in circles while the whole carriage does one rotation over the top. took a few shots, this one the ride is almost over.

Very snapshot-ish. Sure it meets the challenge, but it lacks any artistic viewpoint. Be sure you are concentrating on taking a good photo first, and meetng the challenge second.
Nice that you got the axis pretty close to center, but I think I would have been happier if it could have been a bit darker and the saturation on the buckets brought up a bit.
Nice catch! if you stepped back a little bit and moved to your right a little bit you would of gotten the whole ride and the tree branches on the left wouldn't cover so much of the ride. 8
It appears that your camera metered the sky and underexposed the ride. A different time of day and a more dynamic angle would have added interest to the shot.
Good angle, like the motion blur. In a challenge with some top class pics I rate yours as a good second class pic.
I may of course be totally wrong, hope I am. I'm simply an old man of little experience and even less knowledge who needs to waste his time doing stupid things like vote on pics giving them poor ratings when someone has put their heart into producing this great masterpiece ................
more motion, I want more motion blur. Maybe get some light on this side of the subject (somehow). It bothers my eye that it is cut off at the bottom, either need to be more aggresive cropping or more judicious, either one would help.
