Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/300 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 188, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 23.40 mm, Model: DiMAGE F100

Wow, Marisol - I didn't realize that this one had got any comments until I entered it. I'm sorry I didn't respond. I like how it fills up the frame as well. My balloon shots are usually up in the air but I did see potential in this shot. What would I do without my balloons! Thanks again for taking time out to comment.

Hi, Aimee. I was concerned about he glare on his forehead but decided to leave it alone. What do you think? #8123954

I think you made the right choice....removing it altogther would have looked strange and I see no way of toning it down without it looking messed with. :~) #8126683

Thank you all for your nice comments on this image. I was hoping it might break the "Finalist" barrier but I am happy with it the way it is. #8230520

It's wonderfully composed and like everyone else, I love the full frame and the way the lines of the chute radiate out in all directions. Congratulations on the well-deserved finalist, Debbie #8231846
