Ch #43 - With/without background

[Jerry Curtis]

I would appreciate some feedback on whether this image is better with some kind of natural backgroun or with a black background.

What do you think of the selective color and the blurring of the background?

I like it with the natural background. My attention was drawn to the red slide first but then to the sky. The right side has clouds in it and the left side is almost cloud free. The picture almost looks cut straight down the middle and two individual pictures placed on each side, I like it. Good submission.
