Houstonist Flickr Group Photo Of The Day - Ferris Wheel

The shot from flickr user and houstonist photo contributor erinen31.

The description: "Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Carnival."

It's hard to take a bad picture of a ferris wheel, but this one is extra special. Often, photographers get taken in with the bright colors and the contrast with the background (I do all the time). In this case, the sepia actually does a better job of presenting contrast, with a richer selection of tones against a deep black background.

Here's another shot from on top of the ferris wheel that is quite great.
