These are great pictures, I particulary like both the big wheels and the light on the stairs is really good.

Wasn't it a great day Tim, rain ealry and during the Santa run, but lovely after that and these pictures are great mate. I like them all for different reasons, and like Bill, I like what you've done with the wheel and the lighting on the steps, very good

Love the light on the stairs in the third shot Tim. The composition in the last is great too. TFS.

Great Shots Tim! Your Model in the 1st one is lovely, so are the penquins l.o.l
I like the perspective and the light in the stairs and the last one of the fairus wheel.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
