I'm really digging this one, AntZ. The colors are wonderful. The composition is what it and there's surely nothing wrong with it, but if I could see just one more link in the chain on the ring in the immediate foreground and if the ring to the right were turned even just a little so I could see through it like the rest, you'd get a perfect 10.0 from me. :thumbup:

Looks a little Olympic even, huh?

Cool shot, Antz, though considering the corner of the world that you are from I expected something from New Zealand from the title.

Nicely seen & captured AntZ

Out of curiosity, did your visit bring you to the east coast or the west?

Oh i like the comp and colour here - well done!

My only comment would be that I think I see a bird at bottom center...but because that bird is so small and blurred I think the image would be stronger with it cloned out. Just a thought.

Fabulous composition ... pleasing colours ... nice light .... mmmm, yes, I like it.

Thanks all. I made some slight mods as suggested. I hadn't noticed the bird that Marko suggested I clone out, but agree. I'd had the same thoughts as Barefoot when I was looking at it on Flickr. When I looked at in in lightroom I realised that the crop was so tight due to some off frame objects. I cloned them out and I think it has worked.

Swing-a-Ring-Ring - Improved? by ~AntZ~, on Flickr

You can see so much in this photograph, if you use your imagination. In my eye, a representation of society. The "individual" is to the left, "group" is center stage, and the "misfit" to the right. Could even be viewed as...we arrive, we interact, and then we leave.

Nice! I will be the queen of the rings after this weekend.. :P I'm on a course learning how to use and teach ring exercises! :)
