I love the palm tree filling out the frame in this one, Susan. The whirling lights of the rides now take on a suggestion of toys beneath an exotic Christmas tree. Wonderful light and motion.

The carnival lights are pretty, but the way the palm tree is lit up from beneath is just fantastic. What does the HDR do for you - color, lighting, or both?

@John: glad you liked it john....i think the hdr enhances just about everything there is in a photo...... the colors and the lighting just have so much more punch with it.....and it's fun to try and find shots to take, that make the most of it....
Sugata from Newark, United States
Lovely lights, both on the palm tree and from the background. My new camera has an in-camera HDR function. I haven't tried it yet though!
