Blossoming

very good this composition..like a abstract!!!

Great colors

I tried to frame this hot-air balloon in a "bit different" way... did

it work out?

 

Comments are more than welcome... they are just a small click away,

after all!

 

Thanks!

I like how silky smooth this looks--light shadows areas, the tones are balanced and the colors are vivid, but not overdone.

Solid shot, but it lacks the originality of the other two.

Bellissimo dettaglio! Colori e ombre bellissime!!! Ciao Adrj

As you know, I enjoy extracting patterns like this one. Given how symmetrical this is, a small element that breaks the pattern becomes the subject, so the white square becomes all-important. Since I'm guessing that wasn't really your intention, a different framing that included only white lines and red and yellow shapes might have worked better. Also, the small yellow triangle bottom left pulls the eye (probably wasn't seen in your viewfinder).

Carl,

 

I had similar feelings about the white logo... hate it and crop it away in a vertical panoramic, or love it to the point of calling the picture after what is written inside.

 

I eventually chose to be neutral, but it might be not the best one.

 

How would you see a tight panoramic crop which starts to the right of the lower yellow triangle and stops at the fifth string after that?

 

Cheers,

You mean crop off the right side? . . . could help, although I'm generally not a fan of fixing images that way, but prefer rather to suggest an idea for a similar composition next time. Yeah I am curious about what a little more lower left yellow would look like.

I eventually tried to crop off the right side, and it's so bad that I do not bother posting the result... a white piece of paper on the screen will tell you why...

I also tried different panoramic crops, all with little results...

So go shoot it again. :-)
