Oh! Very nice! A close-up of the balloons would be cool too!

I liked the close up more in color, so here ya go:

The close-up is awesome too, and I like the color.

Love the B&W, Richard. How about a 1:1 crop of just the right side, without the horse? I tried it by sliding the browser window over left.

Juano · January 2, 2018

Cool! I like both crops and the color version too.

I like #2, the horse is a distraction to a very engaging image

Nice,,, Richard

Sounds like Rags and David are suggesting the same thing. I think it works, but I still prefer the original. I guess that's because when I took the shot, I didn't even see the cool reflections in the balloons, just a guy selling them in front of a carousel. It was only in post that I noticed the trippy detail.

I prefer the context of the original as well.

Great picture and a very pleasing conversion. For my part, I think the original version works very well and I also don't think that the carousel horses are distracting.

I love the overall composition and the surreal, mind boggling reflections in the balloons.

Thanks for commenting, Denise and kurzvorzwoelf. Much appreciated.
