Concentric Circles

I like this image..... I like seeing something different than landscapes, animals and sunrises and sun sets.... (not there is anything wrong with those) but it's nice to see something different. I think the B&W is a cool touch.

Lol! It looks as Dangerous as All Get Out,Steve! : D
But that's not to say that there's anything that I'd consider to be less than perfect about the photo!
The 'Abstract' tone that it has comes through 'five by' and it's definitely a lot of fun to look at!

what a beautiful photo I really like how you have used black and white it really creates some great contrast and depth and I like how you have framed it in fine work here

Quite an interesting image posted here! I presume this is a safe child plaything? Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a good look at it. Shades and tones are good. Nicely done!

An interesting image that is nicely composed. I like the clouds in the sky and the interesting form of this piece of playground equipment. A great tonal range; best wishes in the contest.

Omg FS...I want one! It's an oversized slinky...remember those? I love this climbing splendor that is not only artisticly built, it looks like it'd be a lot of fun for a monkey!
Very cool capture and cooler in Black and white. Best wishes in the contest!

This is a great photo! The basic shapes make such unique patters. The choice to make it black and white, really shows it off nicely. The depth is great, the clouds add a nice aspect as well. Thanks for sharing

This is an interesting capture. The play-construction looks like a caterpillar on stilts to me.
Your photo has good depth, and is excellent focused, exposed, and treated with mixed media. The monochromatic adds an surreal, somewhat alien appearance. The viewer expect that the climbing-toy starts moving soon. The tall format emphasizes the construction. The mixed media is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Comment from alaskapat


I really like this in the black and white . The playground appears to be situated at the edge of the water, this scene actually looks very much like a playground we have here in Homer, it also offers a view of the sea.
The circular patterns are interesting to view, it appears that the kids climb the ladder and then make their way through the tunnel formed by the circles .
Well photographed with good focus, this image is clear, exposure is correct, I see good tonal variations in the black and white.
Well composed and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!
