I was always the little kid who would absolutely bawl whenever I accidentally let go of my balloons after a party. I couldn't stand the thought of them floating off into the sky without me. My parents would always console me, telling me that they were free now, and that we should be happy for them.
Whenever I see a stray balloon bobbing along high above, I can't help but smile. I hoped to capture both feelings in this picture. Both the distress and sadness of seeing them leave, but also the sheer joy in being airborne.
I was the same way when I was little! I hated letting a balloon go. I felt like they couldn't survive if they were in the air without me.
As for the picture, great colors against the clouds in the background. I like how you caught her in mid-jump, because you do see the distress as well as the joy felt. The distress comes from the hand reaching out...she's stretching as far as she can but just can't get to those balloons. I like the symmetry of the balloons being airborne at the same time she is. Great shot.
I really was terrible. I'd sit myself right down in the middle of a parking lot if I lost my balloon and absolutely throw a fit. I think it's the way that little kids are though--losing anything is awful enough, let alone having to sit and watch as it gets farther and farther away >.<

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
