the first is the better of the two - although I'd boost the saturation a little - funfairs are bright & garish and this looks a little washed out.

The bystanders & the 'evolution' posts are too distracting in the first.

I think this is a great choice, looks petty good on my screen, maybe just a tad washed out...maybe. Overall it's a winner!:thumb

First one is a classic. :clap I like it too.

I like the first one too. I would however try and tone down the bright spot the light has created in the center and crop the right side in so that the yellow equipment doesn't show and you can focus on the folks better. I love fair shots, lots of colors and action.

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone. How's this?

I absolutely love these shots....both are fantastic and I would not change anything - I personally think they are just fine, as is.

If I had to choose one - I would go with two - there's something about it to me, the isolated blur focuses my eye and makes me concentrate on just that - BLUR!

Great work...

I fixed the fixed photo.:rofl I made it a bit lighter and tried to make the big light in the middle a bit less bright. Also, instead of cropping the yellow post on the right side, I made it a bit less bright and bold. Comments? Suggestions?

Your first shot, the fix of the fix is great.:thumb
