Balloons

All comments welcome!

Is this a straight shot?

Very original file edition. Just beautiful.

 

However, I'd be more interested to see the original photograph as the Rafferty's balloon in the background seems awfully sharp when compared to the depth of field of the land. Same with the balloon above it. It is possible also that the light on the Rafferty's balloon is coming from the front/right handside where it's the opposite on the others. It seems to me this is a file assembled from at least five photographs instead of a photo with a main subject. The light on the face of the girl also doesn't seem to match the light in the landscape as if they were shot at different times of the day and coming from different directions. Maybe I'm wrong on this last one.

 

It's a very beautiful and original concept which shows a good handling of image edition skills (something to be used for a tourism agency) but I don't actually see an actual photograph here where depth of field, lighting, choice of lense, and camera can be discussed and commented as the elements seem to be from different photographs.

 

Yes, this is a composite. It began which a fun idea and grew from there. The base photo is the girl and the landscape, one shot no manipulation. The balloons are comprised of 5 shots. Maybe I should have spent more time correcting the lighting and depth of field, but again just a fun idea.

What a wonderful idea - composite or not, I think this is jut brilliant. Fine work!

Great idea. I agree with Yves about the Raffertys balloon being too sharp compared to the background, but this is a minor niggle. Overall, I think this alteration shows excellent imagination.

cool idea!!! even though i'm not a fan of digitally manipulated photos, i like that one a lot, its really nice!!!! congratulations!!!!

 

good ,compliments !!!
