Ferris Wheel Sunset - Which composition do you like best?

[Matty]

Hi Everyone,

Since the Fair season is upon us, I decided to get a jump on capturing some images for critiquing so that I have plenty of time to perfect in the weeks to come.

The following photos were taken at the Harrow Fair in Essex County, Ontario this past weekend. I played around with some shutter effects later on in the evening, but managed to grab these before the sun went down.

I would love to hear your opinion as to which composition you like best, and/or any cropping tips you may have for any of them.

Thanks!

Focal Length: 18mm - 24mm

I like #2 the best. I think the view more from the side shows a lot more detail of the wheel and looks great against the sky. That said, I also enjoy #1.

#3 would be my least favorite. The horizontal support beams of the ferris wheel look a bit crooked which I found distracting. You can also see more people standing on the ground (also distracting).

First one for me...I would be affraid to get on number two as it appears to be toppling over....Paul
