Seventh (tie) - Contrasting Balloons
by Denise

I saw these balloons flying over a flower shop. Couldn't believe they were purple and yellow. Focusing was a bit difficult since the winds were about 10 MPH!! I liked this image the best because the balloons were directly opposite each other.

Simple and elegant...and so perfectly on target for the theme. Great handling of the sky too.

Nicely capture.

Good take, Denise! You were lucky to get every thing right ... contrasting colour baloons, baloons opposite to each other and on top of everything else THE LIGHT ... Yes the light is playing an impotant role to make this shot even more wonderful.

Nice shot Denise! I like the color of the balloons and the beautiful blue of the sky in the background as well. Perfect focus and really great color saturation. Nice catch and great entry for this challenge!

Fabulous catch, Denise! Love the composition and the simplicity of the image, even though getting the shot wasn't as easy as it may appear! Perfect example of contrast too!
