Preparation, a photo from Colorado, West

Photographer's Note

Balloons set up in a function tent, awaiting a function later in the evening - at the Denver Botanic Garden in Denver, Colorado.

Behind the tent can be seen another of Kenichi Nagakura's bamboo sculptures I first depicted here.

Hi Andrew

Nice colours and lines that draw your eye in. Pin sharp shot with good depth.

Well spotted

Interesting point of view and very graphic composition. It seems you thoughtfully placed all elements in the frame, especially the balloons which are close to the edge of the image but not touching it.
Nice colours too.
Best wishes

Hello Andrew
Those colorful lampions are gorgeous and are drawing the eye in to the picture. They really make a good subject by themselfs, but it is nice to see those sculptures from your earlier postings in their context with their suroundings.
have a good week
Daniel

Hi Andrew,
Beautiful bright colours leading the eye into the image, and nice bright green gass in contrast. A nice place to have a party, just hope nobody got drunk too close to the cactus patch!
Best wishes
Noel

Hi dear Andrew

An unusual and unique subject matter, but I think you did really well with it. The perspective draws the eye in, all those balloons and the tarpaulin things on the right. Good colour and good management of the uneven light. I think (though cannot be sure because I wasn't there) but composing this on a diagonal, rather than front-on may have accentuated the perspective. But there again, there may have been things on the right or left of the frame that you wanted to avoid. Anyway, that's my two cents worth :)

Warm regards and happy Saturday
Lisa
