the red balloon

Penny gave me such a cool push this week, to use a red balloon in the picture. When I first released it it started bounding down the beach so I had to go running after it! once it was wet it stayed put :)
Nice! There is a lovely sense of motion in there

@pennyp fun, I remember the book by Albert Morisse set in Paris that tells the story in pictures of the travels of a red balloon around the city

This is brilliant! I first assumed that you had photoshopped the balloon into the picture.

Beautiful photo, love the waves and that splash of red. @pennyp that is one of the best get pushed challenges I've heard of. Love it

I agree with @rachelwithey this is seriously cool get push challenge, a very good reply too, love that soft blurriness, that red balloon looks amazing against those subtle tones

I love this. Not at all what I expected - which makes it even better! The sea on its own is amazing, the balloon draws the eye in. Well done and fav.

December 16th, 2013  
Intriuging concept, your composition is spot on. Oh, the things we will do to get that photo just so, I love it!

What a cool result

Very cool. Although the balloon makes little sense to be there it is perfect.

@ebemi you could interpret it as something small, insubstantial and fragile, helpless in the face of overwhelming turmoil !

This is making me think of an arthouse film, in a very good way. I agree with others that this is a seriously creative push. Love it. fav
