Football Fever

Despite being unsuccessful at capturing my researched piece of street art yesterday, I did spot some fun things in Paris to fill my 365 feed for the next few days. This is the big wheel at Concorde. France is hosting the UEFA 2016 Football tournament, and the fever is already starting. I'm not a football fan (just as well, as Scotland didn't qualify ...). Not at all. But I thought these cabins on the big wheel were rather cool; each painted with a face/flag of one of the participating countries.

Great composition: the dynamic created by this part quadrant is more powerful than if you had shown the whole wheel. Very nicely done!

The view you captured of the cars on the ferris wheel is very cool on its own. I didn't notice the faces until I read your comment.

[Taffy]

I love how this turned out -- and such an interesting way to invite the teams from around the world.

[Milanie]

This is so neat - how fun to get to see it - great one to share here. We learn so much that is happening in other parts of the world thanks to wonderful photos.

I like the faces on the cars. An unexpected find.

[Stephanie Swift]

Great comp and crop, and the faces are very striking.

[Issi Bannerman]

@vignouse Thanks Richard - as you might imagine, I took many shots at different angles and with different amounts of wheel in the image. This was my preferred one.

[Richard]

Those are neat and a great idea. Great way to show it.

[Tom]

Very cool capture

[Anita Campbell]

Very interesting shot........ Fascinating way they have decorated the cabins with the faces....... Like your composition on this!!! I read your conversation with Louise @weezilou regarding my "Congestion" photo. I guess congestion is all over the world with the population as it is -- and the number of cars on the roads worldwide. Can't escape it!

Great framing here Issi.

[Amanda R.]

Awesome! I really love the composition here with all the negative space!
