I have to admit to borrowing my colleague’s tried and true strategy of presenting the ordinary in an extra-ordinary fashion to add some sparkle to subjects that have the potential to be clichés; hence the less typical viewpoint and a diagonal presentation of this image. A digital colour image given a monochrome treatment coupled with a soft blue wash.

A very nice take on the Ferris wheel (though has the wheel itself been replaced? I don't remember the cars looking like that when I went a couple of years ago) The angle is very effective as is the sense of mystery imparted by the blue wash. By the way it could almost be a negative image of the spinning space station from a certain movie...
This shot seems all the more dramatic because of the lack of any hints of scale, and the pure white background. These qualities do transform the ordinary into an image that causes one to study and ponder trying to reconcile what should be easily reconsilable. Very effective, Martin.
