 I had to lay down for this shot to get the perspective I was looking for. I had the ballons tied to my foot, the sun was just past the meridian, and there were a few gusts of wind that were timely. Probably took 100 shots and it came down to this an another.

"Capture objects in the air." is the challenge description... I know they're in the air... but since it also said to use a high shutter speed... I think they were supposed to be loose instead of tethered. Soo... even though I really, really like this image... (so beautiful... the colors against the blue/white sky)... I'm not sure how to vote this so will be back later.

a good subject for the theme but the balloons almost seem too low to give the feeling of lighter

Very nice colours, might have been better to have turned away from the sun.
