Ya that black fence is a real pain. Im sure the guy would have taken it down for you, or even painted it a different color if he knew you planned to take a picture and show it to Parker.

I was thinking the SAME, exact thought! I might have tried to slip the carney in charge a sawbuck, so he could have, you know, had a couple other guys come over and rip that fence out...and of course, that tree that's blocking the "A" in the word STAT...I'd have fired up the old Stihl chainsaw and layed that tree right down...woulda made for a helluva shot...

Since we're picking this one apart, my nit is that the wheel doesn't appear quite CIRCULAR...it seems a bit wonky and out of round...

Still...not bad for a shot at the fair. A guy does what he can,ya know? Danged fences and trees...oughtta' tear em all down,hell, we oughtta' make 'em illegal!

Derrel, you just crack me up sometimes.

OP: I like the image, given the constraints you had to work with. I particularly like Bynx's edit, with the little bit of branch gone from the top and the wheel looking just a bit less "tipsy." I'd LOVE to see a similar angle on it when it's lit up at night, once the fair opens.

Which reminds me, our fair is going on now. Must find time to get out there.

As for the two versions posted; by the OP and Bynx, I think the OP's is preferable. The edit makes it look like it's shaped like an upside down egg. I think the OP's version is what someone would expect to see if they were standing right there and, as such, it's okay...

Hahaha, loving the c&c on this. I agree, the ferris wheel looks like it's gonna fall backwards. Maybe a way to fix this would be to be higher and take it more straight on. You should have brought a ladder with you! Haha, but all things considered, in relevance to this shot itself, I would definitely say remove the branch (photoshop cloning easily) and I like what Bynx did with it. He's a genius with photoshop!
