Carousel of Time by pflaume

Carousel of Time

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

- "Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell

One of my all time favorite songs. Couldn't help but hum it as I watched the comings and goings on merry-go-round during my recent visit to the fair.
nice cropped shot and processing

I LOVE your processing. How did you achieve this? Fav

Fabulous shot and processing!

It took some imagination to see a carousel without all the color. Well done.
August 28th, 2013  
this is lovely!!

@deeganp Thank you, Pea! After asking you about your processing on one of the shots of your daughter, you said you had used a PS preset. That inspired me to research presets as I had never heard of them before. Anyway, I ended up getting a package for Lightroom and have had great fun with them. I almost feel like it's a bit a of a cheat, but the results are so good and so easy. :)
