The Swing Carousel by streats

The Swing Carousel

Taken in Hyde Park tonight, a fantastic Friday evening, went to the Bon Jovi concert there, they absolutely rocked the stage for three straight hours and were truly amazing! Unfortunately my attempts to photograph them didn't quite match up, just couldnt get close enough. But I did come away with this unlkely shot from such an evening, not the picture I expected to be posting today, but I kind of like it anyway!

Wow!! This is stunning, Ian- definite FAV for me! The lighting, composition, pov and processing are fab!
P.S. Pity about the Bon Jovi pics, I love those guys!!

@tillycarter thank you so much for the Fav and the great comments Krista, I wasnt quite sure whether this worked or not so, it's really good to get such nice feedback.
Yes, was a shame about not getting the Bon Jovi pics I'd hoped for but was still a brilliant night. They are truly a big stadium band of the highest order.

Great shot, I like how it feels like miniature. Sounds like the concert was fabulous!

Great capture! I love the miniature effect photo!

Excellent shot! I agree about the miniature feel, that looks so cool. Love the b&w processing, too. Fav!

This shot is just fantastic. I love the sense of movement, and the black and white is perfection. Fav.

@redpants @custodiabaptista @vach151 thanks Sue, Custodia and Gregg for your comments, very much appreciated. I have to say that the miniature effect wasn't intentional at the time of shooting but when I converted it to b&w it then took on that appearance, which I really liked, so just added to it with a vignetting effect.

@truedee thanks TrueDee, just had to google tilt shift! I hadn't heard of that one. Only have the basic version of iPad photoshop app which I'm using for the first time on this project.
