RED BALLOON

veramente bella nella sua essenzialita'; complimenti!

Part of a hot air balloon. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks Mario, (I think), unfortunately don't know what you said, but it sure appears to be a compliment. Regards...LJ

A really beautiful composition with very nice lighting, Lesa! Best regards, Ruud.

Thanks Ruud, always glad to hear from you. Regards...LJ

I've tried a number of times to get something like this at a hot air balloon launch. I've never been happy with what I came away with. Your shot is wonderful in its simplicity. The curves contrast with the straight lines, the white contrasts with the dark red.

 

A couple of things I'd try:

1. Try increasing the saturation on the reds and brightening up the whites.

2. Rotate the crop counter-clockwise so that the lower draped fabric hangs vertically.

 

Love the shot. Keep on shooting!

nice structure

Thanks Darren and Lukas for your time in commenting on this image. Darren, I appreciate your suggestions and if I get another chance to photograph these wonderful balloons I will definately keep your suggestions in mind. The image was taken from exactly the perspective shown, and I was really more intrigued by the white lines and how they converge toward the lower right hand side, than how the other material was displayed, although I personally think it is "different". Thanks again, I really appreciate all inputs from others on the execution of wonderful images. LJ

One of a kind, appealing picture with just two colour shades

This my favourite. Simple graphic design but very powerful.

Excellent frame and well seen Lesa!Thanks for your comment and best regards
