This was much harder to pull off than I thought it would be. First of all the wind was blowing so the balloons would not hold still unless she held them right at the base. Also when she jumped the balloons didn't always go up at the same speed so they kept blocking her face. Then trying to get her to smile and jump at the same time was almost impossible.
We hid a small trampoline in the weeds the only problem was jumping high enough to clear the weeds. I wanted her legs strait, but we finally decided that they needed to be bent to make it look like she was getting somewhere.
Well here is hoping for the best.

As a photograph, this is technically flawed in many ways, but despite that I love the concept and it has a great feel to it. Would have given a 10 if the focus wasn't off and the subject were on the left third entering the scene instead of the right third leaving the scene. Depth of field could be quite a bit shallower too. I don't need to see so much detail in the background, the focus should be on the girl.
Nice shot, if I had to find something wrong with it, it would be that the girl is facing to the right and is also on the right of the frame, I would have preferred her to be facing into the frame rather than out of it (hope that makes sense).
