We're sure you hate these boring and long moments when you wait for a green light... Don't know what to do, where to stand, thinking when all these cars will finally stop... And here you can see what Finns do in such moments;)
So next time remember to buy many baloons and have fun on the crossings:)

Cheers!
A&M

Excellent photo!
The contrast between baloons and the rest of the photo in black and white adds much more joy to it!

Bardzo fajny efekt, kolory balonów kojarzą się dokładnie ze światłami na skrzyżowaniu. Doskonałe wykonanie

Cześć!

Coraz ciekawsze te Wasze prace. Taka koncepcja z obrazem częściowo czarno-białym nie zawsze się sprawdza. Tutaj jednak wszystko wyszło wyśmienicie. Ciekawe co doprowadziło do powstania tak niezwykłej scenki. Surrealistyczne, interesujące, świetnie wykonane.
Pozdrawiam

O, dzisiaj zmiana tematu! Ale temat równie interesujący! Bardzo pięknie prezentują się te balony. Kolorowe balony! Starannie wykonane technicznie zdjęcie.
Pozdrawiam.

Wow
That's excellent! The way you choose the contrast between the colourful baloons and black& white image is amazing. Can I ask how could one do this?

Hi Aga. I like this a lot. Very good how you have arranged for the balloons to be coloured and the rest without. Very good. TFS. Murray.

Pozdrawiam,

Hi Aga and Michal,
Great contrast between the baloons and remaing. Excellent photojob with good PP.
TFS and greetings

Hi A&M,

Well, with these colourful balloons these moments are not so dull anymore :-)
I like this shot, good idea to do this in B/W, it makes a beautiful contrast with the coloured balloons.
Good composition, POV and sharpness too.
TFS

Greetings, Nel

so many balloons this days on TE :) great shot
work well this partial desaturated
thanks sharing ...
make me want try similar:)
regards,anes

Hi A&M,
lovely colourful contrast to the grey houses in the background.

The desaturation must be a lot of photoshop work, to cut out the balloons.... 2 hours? I made some trials with the magic stick, but it didn´t work like I wanted.

Cheers, good job again !
Christian :P jam

Hello Aga and Michal!
Very special photo, l like it so much!
Superb idea with B & W and colourful balloons!!
Have a nice day!
Agnes

Witajcie!
Znakomicie pomysłowe, muszę powiedzieć. Szkoda tylko, że wszystkie balony nie są zielone, to by już był prawdziwie "pełny wypas"! Ale idea świetna, ładnie zrealizowana.
pozdrawiam,
Grzesiek

Hi friend,

An interesting postprocessing, it was a good idea to let all the balloons in colour from the scene, I like the result, is different and creative, I think you should have cut the white area of the sky, but only a small detail, I like thanks by sharing.

Regards
José

Hi Aga,
A lovely partial desaturation job here. Well worth waiting for traffic lights to turn green if you can catch a moment like this.
Fun!
