Maybe just a plain BW works. I left the light intentionally a bit blown to emphasize the top of the pole. I like the angles.

BTW, what is it? A lightpole, birds?

its a fairground ride that swings up and over with seats from where u can see folks legs hanging down.

I kinda liked the colouring in the sky against the silhouette. although the mono is good.

Works really well against those clouds Fiona

The angles make it hard to see which way the ride swings, so possibly upsets the viewers eye. Not sure how you would compensate for that. Overall like it

I like it a lot.
It is difficult to get that sky colour, I know, I've tried.

I actually prefer somewhere between Fi's and Skip's. I like the colour of the sky in the original but I like the adjusted contrast that lets the legs of the structure stand out more clearly, vital for the whole shot to have the impact it deserves.

I'd rather be under it taking pics than up in it being sick!

Cheers,
Rob
