A splendid series. I really like how Debi put it. The boy and the balloons just pop out of the shot.

Terrific picture Mary Anne! I like leaving the boy in but maybe crop the bottom up to eliminate the white horizontal line on the road and also maybe use the "distort" tool to straighten the building on the left and eliminate the windows. Just a thought! Really good as is too! :-) CJ

Definitely with the boy.

Fun image Mary Anne and I much prefer having the boy included.

this works better for me - I like the whole story. Penny Street

Either crop works for me. I like the idea of leaving the boy though because the extra red plays well with the theme and the tail lights. -Doug

Thanks for the feedback, Tommy. Here's the cropped version:

Mary Anne I think the crop you suggest would look too forced. This looks natural and still works well with the reds and yellows playing off the greys of the buildings. Great use of corners and edges. -tv

Thank you, Debi and Penny. Penny, you didn't miss this one at all, as it was shot while we were driving down to meet you and the others.

I was wondering if this would be improved by cropping off the kid and cropping the bottom up to the bottom of the cab. I've gone back and forth between the two crops.

I guess I missed this one. You have a great eye for color and composition (we knew that). Penny Street

two very nice pics with the colourful subjects set-off nicely by the monochrome background - Debi
