Balloon sunset, a photo from Cornwall, England

Photographer's Note

*23/06/05. Posted image into Work Shop as a TE member has introduced me to Neat Image. The ballons look a lot sharper now, I just wish that i had this software ages ago!*

This shot was taken at a wedding at Watergate bay in Newquay, England. It was taken through a large glass window, with the balloons being on the inside. The view behind is what the bride and groom had behind them as they exchanged vows.

I like the colours and position of the ballons, i just wish the lowest balloon was a bit more translucent.

I like this image because of the colours in the sky, and especially the transparency of the balloons. Well spotted.

I just passed through the site and found your picture and I love it. What a place to get married.

Very innovative shot. With only water as background, these party balloons can give the impression they are the size of hot-air balloons.

Hello Russell,
I really like your photo. It is very cleverly done. The composition is great and the balloons are definitely in the right position. The balloons go wonderfully against the nice sunset. The photo is a little grainy, but this can be fixed with Neat Image. Lovely unique image and informative notes. Well done!
Claudia.
