Paris, France
As I was taking this picture I was thinking why couldn't his balloon be red. However his green balloon fits in nicely with all of the other green things in the frame.I suppose this could be titled "Etude en Vert". What do you think Malyss?

Oh, yes, a green balloon is absolutely right in this photo, James. It's perfect.

I agree. And will add that it takes great instincts and timing to take such a vibrant photo at just the right moment!
Interesting. Looking good, has a number of green in the scene...
Great, honey!
Hugs.
What a terrific capture for the day! I love that balloon! You are so clever and with such a great eye!! Hope you've had a good week, James, and wishing you a great weekend!

Beautiful image James. Captivating! Perfect green balloon.
Bonjour James-- My first time visiting your blog. I found you on Virginia's... Just browsed your site and have really enjoyed your photos, "sighted in Europe... and in the USA." -- In this particular photo of a Parisian street, my eyes immediately zoomed in on the old French car (a "Traction", I believe) -- It's hiding behind the green-ballon-that-could-have-been-rouge, and that's a shame... A bientôt. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
:o))
If you really want une etude en vert, just cut the picture on the left, after the"GC" sign, and the title will be perfect;There are so many green details that are attracting the eyes!And the balloon right in the middle is the center of them all.
AND: I'm with FGiS about this old car! that's a marvel!
So much happening in this photo. The urbaness (if that is a word) is wonderful. Hope the kid with balloon has his eye on the traffic.
There is a of green in this shot, so the balloon fits in, but red would have really popped. I was expecting traffic to be on the opposite sides of the road, which shows my ignorance of French road rules.
Green of the day!
I must admit the color of the balloon jumps out of the picture. The crosses of the drugstores and the green of the bus is not so on the foreground. Beautiful picture and nice to look at for a longer time.
I thought the same thing James, but you know how I love ROUGE in Paris! I'm sure there is a green trash container lurking somewhere in this photo as well! HA

The guy is risking his live here and you want the balloon to be red??? Funny.
Greetings,
Filip
And I guess you have risked your life too... But the result is perfect!
Me encantó.
Una foto tomada en plena marcha exitosa.
Un abrazo.
What a moving image. May time and life treat him kind.
I think he's jaywalking... or rather jay-running. But the green balloon is rather charming. Does it turn red when the traffic light turns red ?
Superbement bien vu! j'adore ce genre de détails qui font une belle photo!
Great shot! Seems the boy is in a risky situation too! And it seems you are too!
Happily it can't be called ' Etude en rouge'!
Thanks for sharing, James!

Have a nice and happy weekend****
What a shot! You were so in the right place at the right time! I don't know if I'd attempt this Parisian traffic though!
Your trip sounds WONDERFUL! I agree, don't spend anywhere less than 2 days, it's not worth it. I'm horrible at remembering names, I ate at many good places and now my mind is blank. And trying to tell you how to get to them in Venice is beyond something that can be accomplished! Thinking of that, unless you know exactly where you're going once you arrive on the island itself, I advise you to get percise directions on how to get to your hotel. Getting lost in Venice is great unless you've got your luggage and you're fresh from traveling! Unfortunately I speak from experience :{
I like this street photo with green, but it could be red, too.
The green is perfect. Just like this shot.
Brilliant capture!
The boy seems to be flying over the street with his green balloon!
God bless you!

Wow! There is so much going on that photo. I love it!
Oh, my first shot was for the rouge, but on closer look, I think that you were blessed with that green balloon! The shades of vert just pop in this action shot. How could we not notice that BOTH his feet are off the ground.
I am not sure how you captured this shot, but glad to know that you "escaped"!!
Bises,

It's like one of those Pink Floyd videos
Great catch!! Makes one notice the little pops of green in the rest of the photo.
