Fun and colorful Deb, and I really like the way you're letting the one balloon escape the frame. --Melanie

Lovely compo and colors, Deb! Like others have mentioned, having the escaping balloon fly partially out of the frame is a touch of genius.

Deb, I really like how the green balloon escapes from the bunch, pushed along by the wind with the string lagging. Neat how it's flying out of the frame too. A nice touch that really adds to your photo. Well done. MFC

Thanks so much for your comments.
In light of Bev's comment about looking " to the clouds for the one that got away," I made a bit of a modification.---Deb

PS Shortly before the end of the photo shoot, these spheres expired. But they will live on in this gallery. (sniff,sniff)

Deb, I really like the sense that these balloons are about to fly away here...nice crop & well composed with that 2/3 view of the sky. The grouping of colorful spheres along the bottom is nicely balanced by the grouping of clouds above. Good idea...well taken. MFC

I like the balloons in the lower third and all the blue sky above. Very nicely done. Helen

Deb, your composition, with the balloons reaching for the sky, is perfect. My eye always looks to the clouds for the one that got away. Bev
