What an odd pattern in the wheel itself, close to the center. Looks like some kind of morse code or something. Anyway, not quite sure what it is but it blows this shot up to totally new dimensions and I gave it a 10, the only other 10 I gave in the challenge, excellent find. If the pattern hadn´t been there it would just have been another "ferris wheel" shot and I would probably have given it a 6-7. Good composition too and I like the slight movement of the people in front, I think you hit the spot here with exposure time.

What the...? That pattern in the wheel is awesome! This is really cool. The foreground might be a bit brighter, it would give a better balance to the sky. 9.

Cool shot the wheel seems unreal like a toy pasted on a paper background.

Cool, but it would have been more interesting if a darker background had been achieved by waiting until a later time or by setting the exposure time lower.

Awesome patterns on the wheel!! Very very cool. Great image, I only wish the title was spelled right ("Ferris Wheel", I believe it is). Top ten, I think.

Great image, I like the foreground people in slight motion blur, not a typical farris wheel image. Good luck.

cool image., but drab colors and uninspired foreground detract.

Before dark. The colors may be richer later.

at first thought the people in the forground seemed annoying but after looking at it they add to the motion and emotion of the scene. I love the effects on teh wheel itself. Good luck.

I think this is the best shot of this wheel in the challenge. I personally would have cropped out the bottom people in the dark.

WOW this almost looks like a space craft crash landing in a ski fi movie. well done to capture such a surreal image.8

The sky seems almost artificial. You might try a slightly different angle and not a straight-on, centered shot.
