Long Exposure - Ferris and the Carousel

On a cold wet evening on our local pier, I snatched the opportunity to do some long exposures of the rides spinning whilst my kids enjoyed candy floss and ice cream!

I experimented with many compositions whilst capturing this image. I really wanted to capture the reflections on the wet floor (not something you would usually think about, but works so well in this shot).

My initial efforts were trying to get the entire Ferris wheel into the shot, but sometimes less is more, I think it works here.

What do you think?
