Curiosité..., a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

She's one of those many kids eagerly waiting for her turn to ride this Pariser carousel at the Parc du Champs de Mars the morning I went to see the Eiffel Tower. But first she needed to check it out how it feels from the touch of her hand...Kids will be kids...

From what I can recollect when I read the plakat on the carousel, this is supposed to be one very old carousel. I'm just not sure, maybe from the late 19th century if its dsigned by Eiffel himself or some other person.

I also made a short 15-second video of the carousel:

Hello Alex

An interesting shot. The little girl is really pretty and her expression is well captured.
However, for such a portrait, it would have been better if you have reduced the DOF to isolate this scene, by a wider aperture.
Anyway, colors and sharpness are very good.

Regards,
Karine
