First idea did not work out due to conditions needing to be exact. This idea evolved from blowing bubbles to blowing balloons using a bubble wand. I also wanted to capture some of the mood and feel of many of Maxfield Parrish's paintings.

I did not notice the position of the clouds till I began looking through the shots. This one shows what looks like the cloud coming out of my model's mouth and ALMOST extending to the bubble wand.

I took about 56 shots and both my model and I grew nervous as that a group of guys came to the park and started flying their radio controlled airplanes not too far from where we set up. Some of the shots show the blue angel's plane in them. In fact one of the planes crash landed about a 100 feet from where we were photographing.

Wonderful idea. It took me a bit to see that she was "blowing" the last "bubble", mostly because the wand is the same color as the balloon.

Great idea colour and contrast. The basic shades of yellow on blue work a treat and the fact that your model has her eyes closed emphasizes the fact that she has to put some effort into blowing these types of bubbles! The processing and border add nicely. More than happy to be sharing a placing beside you. Well done.

Great image... maybe have her turn some so you don't see the opening to the ballon?
