I don't have a great deal to say about this one other than that it's a straight shot and that the tortured structure you can see reflected in the metalwork is the Pepsi Max rollercoaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

It reminds me of the film Scarface - the Brian de Palma version, not the original ;-) - Probably because of the 80's style of the sign (right down to that slash of pink) and the whole golden glow to it....Miami...Blackpool...bit of a difference eh - or maybe not, I've never been to Miami. I think the twisted reflection of the rollercoaster is great and the streaks of rust are a favourite element.

can't understand picture.

This one is really pretty.
Love the colors and the complicated metalwork(?) I like the title as well.
Really nice!

Most people would just never see to take a shot like this. Brilliant.
comment by Bob at 01:13 AM (GMT) on 6 March, 2006
Brilliant indeed. Wonderful image...everything about it. It works on SO many levels, especially for those familiar with its namesake. This one could easily constitute an essay. Thanks for adding to an already lovely Sunday, David. Cheers!

Wow. Outsanding straight shot. Well seen indeed.

Wonderful, I like it a lot. It looks like some glass work.
comment byDutch PhotoDay at 08:08 AM (GMT) on 6 March, 2006
Anyway, its a really interesting picture, I mentioned on one of my recent posts that I think you do some of if not the best reflective shots in the photoblog community.
This only backs up my theory, great colours, saturation and warming composition.
comment bybruno at 10:53 AM (GMT) on 6 March, 2006
great. like color explosion and it may be like paradise.
comment byEllie at 12:36 PM (GMT) on 6 March, 2006
I love the idea.... the roller coaster reflected with the word 'paradise', the irony you tried to achieve was an amazing idea. just somewhere between concieving the idea and posting it, it didnt work. thats just my humble opinion.
Jeremy/JD: thanks for the link, and yep, that's pretty similar.
Ellie: I'm not sure I understand your comment: what doesn't work? Or, perhaps a better way of putting it: what is you think I intended that doesn't work?
comment byKatie at 09:20 PM (GMT) on 6 March, 2006
This is amazing! I love the reflection, the colors, everything! I had to do a double take to figure out how it was a photograph and I love being kept on my toes like that. :)

one word for this - stunning !!
comment bypatrick at 09:45 AM (GMT) on 7 March, 2006
The hell is always near the paradise, or perhaps, the hell is just a reflection of the paradise...
or reverse...
I will think about that...

WOW! Paradise :-)
Incredible. Colours, shapes. All works so well.
Very nice! Special mixture of everything: lights, shapes, reflections... Impressive.
:-)
was this one photoshopped at any kind ?
jurek: yes, but only in terms of adjusting the contrast and saturation.
I love views like that. Artpiece!!
Best photo you've presented in a while! Very nice!

The more I see of these types of shots, the more I like them, and you have a good one here.

Ellie - wouldn't that depend on what you perceive Dave's idea to be? Bit of a sweeping comment that one..
Thanks everyone.
