Taken during my company picnic at the Milwaukee Zoo. They have this beautiful carousel and the all the horses on the outside are "themed" differently. I held on to the carousel shots for the best of 2006 challenge and will post the rest that I took once the challenge is over.
I have always loved Carousels...hope you do too!

Nicely captured detail, good DOF, although background might not have been as distracting if it were a little darker.

The details and colors here are wonderful.
Great use of depth of field and the lighting overall is nicely balanced - well done.

Beautiful! But the border should go, in my opinion - it distracts from all the color and detail in the picture, rather than enhance it.
