"Bottoms Up!" (Fun for the entire family.)*

The legs belong to a cherub-faced, middle-aged fellow who stumbled over to the ride with a buddy from a bar conveniently located 10 feet away. One of them mumbled something about the ride reminding him of an acid flashback. I was expecting to capture equipment failure or at least some projectile vomiting...no such luck. Interesting image nonetheless.

Hillarious photo! Great composition, love the blur, only the colors are a little over the top, but that's just my personal opinion. Great image!

I came to the conclusion that this one was the best of the three before I had read any of the comments. Now that I've seen the comments I see I am not the only one to think so. Hilarious shot and great capture. The tilted horizon works well here, but another great strength of this composition (apart from the humor) is that the lines of the carousel structure all point towards the main subject: the legs up in the sky. Nice colors and exposure too - evokes a fitting sense of lightness. Great shot! --Olaf
