I'm posting this after watching Liverpool draw 1:1 with Chelsea in the Champions League after an own goal was scored with the last kick of the game, so I'm not a happy camper!
Anyway, I think I like this, it took me ages to get a decent shot of this ride, and I like the effect my 50mm lens gives here to make the ride and kids in the foreground stand out. I'd prefer not to have such a busy background, but that's life sometimes, and after 2 pints I don't feel like going mad in photoshop!
Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!
As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

Nice action shot, I like the moment you've captured. What about making the background bw, leaving the magnificent colours in the foreground.

@pLusOne: It does pLusOne
I think that background works in splendidly with the whole... damn hate to use this word but can't think of a better, atmosphere. Glad your patience won out... Great shot, Dave!
