BLUE

A lone blue balloon blows along the streets of Indianapolis as it slowly deflates.   
I pushed the contrast on this image but did not use selective coloring.  It's funny, too, because this was a mostly sunny day and I just happened to catch a dreary moment in the shadows of downtown buildings. A harbinger of what was to come later in the evening when the Colts lost to the Jets?

They didn`t quite get blown away, but a loss is a loss

It is sad when ayoung balloon gets separated from the herd, and has to survive alone all night!

Perfect use of selective coloring. (It does remind me of the creepy guardian balloon that kept people from escaping in the old series The Prisoner.
