Expected Wonder Series #2

Shannon Black

"Expected Wonder #2" is a fine art photograph that captures the essence of the state fair, a place where people come together to revel in the joys of community, entertainment, and fun. The image invites viewers to immerse themselves in the magic of the moment, to let go of their worries and to be transported to a place where anything is possible. It is a reminder of the importance of experiencing life's simple pleasures, and of the wonder that can be found in the most unexpected of places.

The photograph is made all the more magical by the shower of light sparks that fill the foreground of the image. The sparks, which appear like a meteor shower, add an otherworldly quality to the scene, suggesting that something extraordinary is happening in this ordinary setting. The way the sparks are captured in motion adds a dynamic quality to the image, creating a sense of movement and momentum.

The colors in the photograph are rich and vibrant, with the warm hues of the lights and the cool blues of the sky blending seamlessly to create a mesmerizing palette. The way the light reflects off the surfaces of the rides and the crowds adds depth and texture to the image, making it feel almost tactile.
