Thanks for the comments. I actually decided to increase the shadow effect by turning down the brightness. I wanted the chairs and the riders to be silhouetted against the sky.

Thanks in particular to tv for your suggestion. But I chose to leave the cable car in. To my eye, this view gives a sense of anxiety: for at least a brief moment, I am left to wonder how close the cable car will come to the chairs.

I love the detail and angle of the chains and I think the silhouettes work well with just enough color in the kids' hair to give them some identity. The cable car is in the way so I cloned it out - see pending. -tv

I like the highlights and backlit subjects, makes a good shot.

Hi Charlie, I was there myself eating scones just the other day. I love the entries, all very sharp and this one as Brent mentioned is pretty neatly composed. Yvonne (in Orting)

Very creative Shot Charlie! I'm wishing for a little more exposure maybe, but very cool.
