I was trying to think of something different for balloons, not so "fuzzy and happy". I came up with this and I thought it was a little more edgy. We were out driving around and we found this century home that was abandoned and kinda spooky, so I thought it would be a cool place to submit a picture and create something. I was sorta channeling the Addams family.

This shot is so twisted, funny and cute all at the same time. Well deserves the 9 I gave you in voting. Reminds me of a Tim Burton movie, looks like Edward Scissorhands' younger, not-Scissorhanded kid sister. Hilarious! I figured it would be too dark a shot to ribbon this time, but still, huge congrats on the top 10 finish.
I cant stop thinking what would have happened if you had let go (and then giggling a little at the thought of the dog going off on its own little adventure among the tree-tops - reminds me of that pixar film Up) - i assume those balloons arent actually lifting the dog but some wire is attached to the tree?
I thought I would be giving you congratulations for a ribbon but alas the voters were out of touch, best image in the challenge in my view. Well done Mike.
Oh, I can just imagine the fun you had shooting this. Give that kid a medal for the expression. I bet she was probably having hard time keeping her face serious. I would giggle too. The dog look just cracks me up, man. This is one amazing awesome photo.
Wow!!!!!! Fantastic in every way! I would imagine this will ribbon for sheer concept, setup, and just interesting shot!! Executed brilliantly as well, a lot of thought and time have gone into this I imagine and I look forward to the description
My favorite in the challenge. Added it to my favorites. Looking forward to finding out who took this photo. I haven't been around dpc in a while and need some new portfolios to look through.
LOL - absolutely great! Nit pick would be that everything is happening on the left side of the picture, to much empty on the right... but different and cool!
Oh boy...i wouldn't like to meet this kid. I'm sad for this dog!
The composition is great, creative idea. The light is trully amazing, so as the textures and colors. I would give this a 10. This is one of the many great images in this challenge. Good luck!
What's this about? Sometimes "creepy odd as art" works, but unfortunately this doesn't, for me. (She should have pulled taught on the string, since the effect of the dog/balloon floating against it vanishes because it's slack.) 6
GOOD LORD that's creepy. That dog does NOT look pleased. LOL This is uber contrived, but works. The strobe lighting is apparent which kind of changes the overall mood, but still well executed.
