CHALLENGE/CHALLENGING

2011 MidUSA Ohio Balloon Challenge

One of those PULL OVER NOW moments when I realized the cornfield was a perfect border to the shot. I think there were 31 balloons in the air at the time but I couldn't get wide enough to get more of them with the lens I was using.

I didn't know that they grew in those fields, must be a fertilization ritual.

You photo is so impressive. So many colors and patterns. The green corn looks like grass and brings it al together.

Brilliant to use the cornfield as a foreground--it heightens the colors and gives it all a certain sense of fantasy.

The corn looking like grass is perfect, this looks almost like an illustration, they are so perfectly spaced.

Is this real? Regardless, it is a very compelling image. I really, really like this!

I wonder if they left any crop circles in the cornfield before they took off.
