Afterwork: Bordered, sharpened, resized, and contrast.If said ti before and I will say it again. I am always learning, trying again. As with all my other "Redux" shots I've either rebuilt a manipulation, or returned to the same spot I've taken pictures at before, as the case is here. You can find the first shot here:

America celebrates National Cotton Candy Day on December 7th
Cotton candy was originally called fairy floss. In 1920 it was re-named cotton candy. Cotton candy contains only one ingredient: sugar
It is unclear who was the first person to invent cotton candy. Four people, Thomas Patton, Josef Delarose Lascaux, John C. Wharton, and William Morrison, have all been named as the inventors of the candy.
Wharton and Morrison received a patent for the cotton candy machine in 1899. They created the first electric cotton candy machine to melt and spin sugar through tiny holes using centrifugal force. After the two candy makers from Tennessee received the patent, Wharton and Morrison took the invention to the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
Patton received a separate patent in 1900 for his process of making cotton candy. He was experimenting with caramelizing sugar and forming threads using a fork. Patton used a gas-fired rotating plate to spin the cotton candy threads. He introduced the candy at Ringley Bros. Circus and it became popular with children.
Around the same time, a Louisiana dentist, Lascaux, introduced cotton candy at his dental practice though he never received a patent or trademark for the confection.
The early machines proved to be unreliable at times. Some simply broke and others would make loud rattling sounds. In 1949, Gold Medal Products introduced a more reliable model with a spring base. This helped to revolutionize cotton candy making.

No, don't think so. The sky alone can be a bit flat but the water gives deep to the shot.
At the end the result is just great.

Yeah! I found another photographer here on DA with the same camera, and some of his images or outstanding. I need to ask him a ton of speed and apeture questions.

That's his page, and while he is more landscape than anything else, I've been scouring his images for shutter speeds and settings.

Thank you Tara darlin, I've had some good luck recently, though for some reason I just can't seem to get the cloud reflections I really am looking for that I had in Lyonnesse Rising.
