Beauty & the Beast

A kind of experiment. Looking around me taking a lot of pictures of nature, people, aircrafts, reflections it are all photographers issues. What about this one? Well I liked the scene, an add pole and over it a static balloon. This scene can be found in the park in the centre of Bournemouth. I thought is was worthy to take a picture of it. Let me know your opinion.


I'm in England (Norwich) again, quite busy, so I will be irregular in visiting TL. But if there are opportunities, I will critique the postings on TL as much as possible.

PP work:

Shot in RAW. Minor adjustments of brightness, contrast and saturation. Slight crop. Removed the cable of the balloon with the clone tool. Converted to JPEG, resized and sharpened. Add frame.

Hi Hans,
Heel goed gezien en weer eens wat anders.Prima van kleur en de ballon er boven maakt de opname heel apart.
Ben wel nieuwsgierig waar die ballon naar toe vliegt zonder kabel!!
Groetjes,
Frieda.

Hi Hans,

That is an interesting experiment!!
The balloon surely makes it more interesting, but I miss the link a bit between the balloon and the messages on the pole. Next to that, I think it is well seen and it still makes an interesting composition!

Enjoy your weekend!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Hans

A good upward pov on the 2 posters & a nice justapositioning of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', against 'Beauty & the beast'. The balloon is a good addition. Tfs!

Hello Hans,
The instense blue sky provides a good medium and contrast to showcase the flags with ads as well as the balloon. The upward pov works. Have a good Sunday. Danilo
