Couldn't resist. Hopefully one or two of you will get it, though I'm betting on a few DNMC votes. Fe - Iron. Steel, of which I assume this structure is made, is mostly iron with some carbon to add strength.
Processing is a Lightroom preset (300v1, I believe) and not a whole lot else. Taken the opening night of my little town's big five-day festival.

Ah. I give up. I really did shoot this specifically for the challenge. In my poor little addled brain, this is exactly what I wanted. So... it is finally sinking in, after over three years and more than 250 challenges, that I really don't have a clue.

By the way, take a second to go check out the wiki bit on Ferris Wheels. Quite interesting!
I love this shot of a Ferris wheel and while you weren't too pleased with my comments during voting I still maintain that it was a stretch in terms of the challenge description.
But nevertheless; I still like your image and voted it a 6 - not really too far from the average you received. It would have been nice to see some movement but the lighting you managed to get is fantastic. The angle and focal length is perfect for this shot.
If the challenge topic had been amusement parks of Ferris wheels I would have voted a 7. A DNMC or shoehorns is usually not a reason for me to deduct points. A great image with photographic interest although DNMC will always get a higher score from me than a mediocre image right on challenge target.
Hey I didn't vote in this but would have given high scores as I got it and thought it met the challenge. To have a score in the 6% range is pretty good, if I had gotten that tye of score I'd fall over :)
This was one of my favorites! The dark sky sets the mood well. There always seems to be an air of excitement and danger at a fair, and I get those feelings looking at this. I will miss your entries--you are so good at capturing the emotion of a scene.
LOL- now that's my kind of title. The photo doesn't exactly compel me to think "element," but it's a fine shot in its own right and I have to give you credit for that title. ;-)
Wow! It may be a real stretch for the challenge, but this is a fabulous shot! I'll tell you this much, those giant wheels are a serious pain in the a to drive, but they are beautiful.
Cool idea and image. Maybe not the best fit for the challenge, but I'm not a member of the DNMC police. I think it is an excellent image, love the lighting and colors.
