Cool idea!

Great and great idea. Bang on theme

i really like this photo

nice one

This is a cool shot, but I'm not sure how it's painfully "letting go"

Kyricom, picture a child accidentally letting go of their balloon, probably crying as she watched it fly away. I can see that with this image. The pain can still be there, you just have to imagine the rest.

I should just say congrats in advance, but I'll wait

So, we're supposed to imagine that a (huge) kid's hand and that they accidently let go?

Kyricom, have you never been there when a kid loses their balloon, the noise is dreadful..........

plus we r all kids at heart.

I think it's a really nice shot, as I said in the beginning. But the point is, that with so many (not all) entries in the contest, there needs to be some elaborate description describing how we need to imagine something, or what could be happening, or what something represents, in order to make it be on theme. If you showed many of these entries to a stranger and said, "What does this represent?" They would NOT say anything about "painfully letting go of something," or even words that would imply that. They would say "there's some people walking, or sitting there - or, someone is letting a balloon float away." It is a nice shot, though.

who says that it has to be painful ONLY for a child to let go of a balloon???? I know that I hate when I accidentally let go of a helium balloon and I'm 37!!

I like this shot-great color's, fits the theme,very creative,good job!

Very nice photo. Congrats!!

sweet

beautiful work.

This is a nice one. Right on theme

Amazing shot...well done

Oh so sweet.

Great shot.

well done.

Nice one. Seems to show his anxiety

I can imagine the tears streaming down his face, looking out the window. Well done! GL!

Right on theme..

who is letting go of who here?

1. Granny leaves life
2. Author leaves Granny
3. Granny leaves Author who asked her to pose
4, Granny's had enough of her family
5. Granny wants to take the train but she forgot how you do this

In any case, Granny's got great sense of humour!

would be more believable if she wasn't smiling.

Cocor.....I couldn't have said it any better ......Friiskiwi , you know how some 80 year olds
get that slight painful smile when they over stretch their back, well thats what she's doing.
Thanks for everyones comments.........( Granny is a good sport.)

That's what I was thinking friiskiwi. But I didn't think it was off theme, just a little silly

Brilliant...very funny!

Well... Granny definitely seems to be a good sport. Good for her!

Gave me a chuckle!

Good on Granny for having a sense of humour

cool...

Not picking but whats the weird line on the upper right.Good entry though.

Part of the fire.

Somehow I didn't expect you author...but a wonderful shot and great example. Too bad our hearts don't let go as easily. Nice idea!

Wonderfull Shot ! Good luck author !!!

A little dark, but a good one. Right on theme

Bang on theme..

Ah author great shot...i remember the similar thing that u did in PSD contest...
