Free

Texas

I enjoy feeling free to do what I want and not be tied down by the red tape that life sends our way. Being in the company of those I find to be colorful and fun.

Canon EOS 10D
1/750s f/4.5 at 30.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I'm having trouble keeping up, this shot has been here a little while & I've only just looked at it. It must have been fate as you have fixed whatever was wrong because it looks really nice now. I love the colour in the clouds & the composition is spot on. I think you should take a ride in one of these balloons it would force you to slow down & be at peace for at least one hour....PS. don't take the kids:-)

I agree, this looks much better :-) nice photo. About the little balloon, perhaps you compressed the photo too much, it can add those jpeg artifacts. Try upping the size to 60kb instead of 30kb see if that helps.

Now it looks quite better! About the right side one, if in doubt... crop!

Nugar is this better. don't know what happened to that balloon on the right. It looks really weird here. didn't look like that when I was working on it. will play with it some more later.

Nice pic Melissa. Even though you didn't put a *, I'd venture that it would benefit from cropping or cloning the lights in the lower part of the picture. Maybe also some shadow/highligth filter under ps cs (or the technique where you merge two exposures).
