I love all the green that's going on here. Also, the hanging cable on the left, which may seem insignificant, is pretty crucial in balancing the composition. Nice shot!

I love when a photo stirs questions in the viewer. You've accomplished that here. Really nice, Kathleen.
I like this shot. It's just a little story. Very nice!

Posted by david tinnon on August 8, 2007 9:06 PMGreat shot. The symmetry (if that's the word) between small and large make this work beautifully.

Beautiful image.
Posted by LwS on August 12, 2007 1:35 AMWhen we were young, the world was a place of wonderment and our dreams were happy and plentiful. Whether a knight in shining armor or a fairy princess, our future was preordained. Unfortunately with the passing of time comes the passing of dreams. Years of successes and failures at every level change your perspective about so many things. Those happy days as a child with our heads in the clouds seem only a cruel jest when compared to what reality has presented to us all.
But, perhaps the children can teach us something instead of the other way around. We can look to them for an uncomplicated, stress free approach to life. Let's all get our own little balloon and launch it. We don't really care where it goes, we just care that we took the time to send it skyward.
