This is a great photo of a classic carousel horse. One thing I like about it is it does look like the horse is racing, but their is no blurring in the photo. The background is just right, with the horses following a little less detailed and just the right amount of fading in the back The colors in the photo compliment each other. This is my favorite because the horse is so detailed and the its profile is centered perfectly in the frame. Well done.

In this contest I would like to see your photos which show the amazing artwork on carousel figurines. Carousel art has been around since the 1800's in Europe and since 1870 in the United States. Images can show one or several figurines but I am most interested in seeing the figurines rather than the whole carousel. People riding the carousel can be included in the photo, but the main focus of your photo should be the artwork of the carousel. I am looking for photos which capture the beauty, uniqueness, and even historic pieces. I hope you find this contest fun and challenging.

This is an excellent photo of three carousel figurines centered perfectly. This is a tough shot to capture. They look like they are racing along together. The colors are beautiful pastels edged with gold. The designs on the figurines are intricate and classic. The background is uncluttered and a good contrast for the foreground. Well done.
Great shot getting this many figuirines into one photo. Excellent example of the jumping style carousel horse. The horses are carved wonderfully, showing more motion than many carousel figures, for example: the movement of their heads and legs. The colors stand out nicely with the white building as a background.
