Meet Brooks (Day 47)

I had never heard of either RSV or Kawasaki Syndrome, but I googled them for an explanation. I admit reading about his encounter with the kindergarten teacher makes me uncomfortable. Sounds like he was cut a lot of slack due to his early illnesses.

Nice photo, especially the composition. It looks as if he's considering a dangerous leap.

Cool, he's really flying. I like how the red and green of the setting contrast with the color of the dog and the house.

Very nice. It's "square enough" for me. :-)

Your explanation of your contortions made me smile. None of it is apparent in the photo, which is a good thing!

It's hard to get a candid of someone these days without a cell phone, since everyone is on them all the time. The shadows and glare make this seem like a very hot day.

Who needs a view when you have coffee? :-)

Good candid, with interesting lines in the deck. The bird is a nice touch. I also like the boldness of his red shirt against the muted background and how they contrast with this shock of white hair.

Looks good. Interesting bokah, and the I like the pale blue of the eyes. Dragonflies are the best, though I've never tried to photograph them.

I don't have anything to add to the praise in the other comments except to say I agree!

Not such a "far cry" -- I think this is a beauty. They really do look like flames.

I'm going to a hot air balloon festival next weekend in central Illinois -- I hope I can capture an image as good as this! I notice some banding in the clouds (to the lower left of the balloon) which are probably a result of the resizing/post processing, but overall it's a strong image.
