Night shot of the rides and people at Lagoon Amusement Park. I wanted to capture the excitement and magic of the place with the moving ride against the stillness of the static giant ferris wheel.
PP included all the basics, Level, H/S, B/C, Curves and Highlights and Shadows. Additionally, there is some dodge and burn, cloneing and selective color. I even used a gradient mask to accentuate the last color in the sky at dusk.

Really cool capture. very nice. just wondering about the purpleblue band. If thats something that could be taken out? make this pop a little more. But very nice.
What I like about this photograph is the sense of movement & light of the wheel in the foreground AND the circular shapes present in both the foreground & background. The colors are vibrant and rich. The composition as it stands now I would rate just as average but the image does have potential to move into the above average as that it has many appealing elements to it. Shapes, color, movement are all there but what is detracting in the composition is the inclusion of the people at the bottom of the image. That added element takes attention away from the main attraction/main focus of your image which are the two wheels dominating the scene. Crop the people out of the composition and you really have a visually appealing nighttime scene of the amusement park rides.
