Butterfly, Fly Away...

This was on the way home from the airport.
knowing how i am with my photos, my dad stopped the car in a field so i could get some shots of this hot air balloon :)

once again, it was only taken on my Nokia Express Camera
Phone, But I think (hope) it came out okay.

i know, i know i need to get a camera. but hey, im 15, and
very tight on cash right now :/

The only editing that has been done is focusing the colour
on the balloon.

Comments/criticism?
Anything Is Very Appreciated :)

Much Thanks,
15 Year Old Aspiring Photographer <3

It would be great to be starting out at 15 with all the future that photography holds. Maybe
too much future and complication? You're doing very well with your phone camera and
should easily transition into a regular camera when the time comes. IMO this would work
just as well if not better with everything B&W. As long as you're showing this much of the
house (?) there's probably no reason to cut off part of it.

Being that hot air balloons are usually colorful I think I would have liked to have seen this image in all color... I think what I'm trying to say is that either all b&w or all color... I find the colored hot air balloon with the rest in b&w draws my eyes away from the building and I find the building equally interesting subject matter along with the balloon.

Agree with Jan, either one or the other, or de-saturate a lot of the colors in the balloon, and just leave a hint of it's color.
