Who knows if the moon's a balloon...

[Gina9942]

I saw a run away balloon today, so I threw off my 50mm and threw on my 70-300, what do you think of the composition? The photo as a whole? Does it do anything or is just a snapshot? TIA

It's dreamy, and sets the mind to wandering.

If this is a snapshot then so is everything I have every shot. No, this is an eloquent light poem about hopes, dreams and the meaning of life.

I like the capture.

[Gina9942]

Thank you everybody, I am so new to shooting things besides people. I love capturing emotions and I've started venturing out and capturing emotions not only in people but in the world around me. I was fairly happy with this shot. I am really enjoying the challenge of shooting outside my comfort zone.

You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

A snapshot? Never. Even better when viewed large on Flickr
