I was trying to pan with the ride and most didn't turn out.This is the best one except for the slight blur of her fingers.Please let me know what you think.

Well, neither pic really jumps off the screen for me. I know you were panning, but better composition might have helped out in both of them. Try here (http://digital-photography-school.com/digital-photography-composition-tips)for starters.

Also, you can fight the blur off by up'ing your shutter speed. Trying to pan and catch a good photo of moving rides @ 1/80 makes it very difficult to fight off blurred shots.

Looks like everyone had a great time though!!! Thanks for posting and keep shooting!

1st one candid P&S at best, the second one lacks, detail. Maybe slightly OOF.

keep trying you will come up with something. Just keep doing what your doing, practice makes perfect.

If you cloned out her index finger in the first one, it would give the image a whole different meaning.;)

Both suffer from harsh midday light. In the first, it's coming from the side, causing harsh highlights. In the second, it's back-lighting her. You could make the second one pop a little by increasing the contrast or adjusting levels. A little warming would reduce the influence to blue from the sky.
