Stunning image, if I was being really picky I would of chose to colour only 1 carefully selected balloon. But this really is a fantastic image.

Hi
anuel,
It is so full of joy and movements despite the grey sky. Did you desaturated everything but the balloons are took a b&w and colored those balloons ? Excellent composition. TFS.

good photo
full of life, movement, joy and, yes, freedom
the different children's position and the shadows works just fine
the colored baloons gives it an extra life, by oposition with the almost grey tones on your work
very well done

Hi Manual, really such a joyfull picture, well done the black against the colourful baloons. Congratulations on this shot. Reina

Magnificent! The composition is well done, the framing remained great even if the kids are running around. Your subjects seem to pop out of the picture, excellent PP work.

Such a happy picture. Thanks, Manny!

Hi Manuel,
Another beautiful shot. I prefer this one for the movement and the beautiful play of shadows and light. Even without colors, it would be an excellent photo. Congratulations! Annie

Lovely image full of life. It's perfectly composed and the selective colouring works really well against the b&w tones. Also the reflection gives it another dimension.

wow manny, great and creative composition. i liked the similar photo you posted before, but this one is even more impressive.
- peter

Beautifull, joyfull. Kids are fantasic. Desaturation gives some additional strength to this photo.
Regards Darko

Just inspired. An absolutely stunning image.
Superb use of b&w and colour with a great sense of movement.
Thanks for sharing.

Great Manny!
A work of art.
Ciao

very very beautiful Manuel Librodo...
unfortunately i have run out of points but this is just wonderful and full of life, joy and colour.

s.

Well done. Congrats!

How would it look like if there would be some kinda motion particularly their feet movement?

Anyway, I like this shot and the B&W + color.

Joy and Happiness!

Superb post Manny! Love the way you kept the colors for the balloons only. The kids have a lot of fun obviously during your photo session.
Cheers!

the contrast of the multi-colored balloons with the greyscale of the rest is really striking...
