 Yes, another silhouette, i swear tomorrow it wont be one. lol. But me and my mom were driving around today, trying to think of something to do for this today, and mom suggested this. A few years ago, i bought a helium tank and some balloons in some random hope i would make billions of dollars selling balloons. Needless to say, i never used the thing till today, and im glad that it turned out the way i wanted it to.

Taken at about 5, so the sun was in just the right place. Then 1, 2, 3....10 i let go of the balloon. only did it with two balloons, and the first one i didn't even loose, it popped when i was reviewing the shot! But this one is now somewhere in the atmosphere, drifting between nowhere and goodbye.

If I had a tank of helium I'd be talking funny for days on end. Nice pic - like the setup and colors and creativity. A little "organge fringing" on the top of your head - is that from processing or the shot itself? Maybe some of your hair? Anyway, a very small negative but in the whole, another great shot.

Um, sorry, no - balloons ar 3 for $5 - they are not "free" - that's how people make billions and billions selling them! :P

I like your silhouettes! THis one has a very cool colored sky and I like the red ballon. Very well presented also. Great job! *said in my best helium voice impression*
