 450 Balloons and the construction of a balloon stand took up some time. The idea came to me as soon as I saw the balloon challenge posted. I had the location and everything to go with it. Getting the help was easy, they worked for balloons :)

The edit:

Shot in RAW
Levels Layer
USM 125%
Re-size for web
Sharpen

The players, My sister Frances and her husband Myron, their children Jerrad and Macey. My customer James on the tractor and his daughter Sierra working the balloon stand.

We had a great time making this image and I hope you have fun looking at it.

MAX!
