Even though the chain covers her face I love this shot. Taken at dusk the combination of the lights below her is from the sunset and the lights of the ride. 1/60s,f3.5,ISOo800,82mm.

Exif: F Number: 3.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/600 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, FocalLength: 12.90 mm, Model: FinePix S5700 S700

I can easily see why you love it -- her joy radiates as do the lines of the composition. Great colors, too. #8055356

Thank you Nikki for your kind words. The only editing I did on this shot was alittle contrasting...I was amazed how the colors were so vibrant directly out of the camera. Thanks again. :) #8055921
