Very interesting shot! The framing is awesome, for it truly looks as if the blimp is going to hit the building! This shot was processed well. Shooting into the sky is always iffy, trying to keep the shot from washing out. The DOF is good as well, hanging onto the details in the building itself. Good entry to the contest!

I always love it when I see a dirigible. It has been awhile. I probably just missed it since the Bengals did have two prime time games. I just don't get downtown much. This is interesting. Good focus and depth. Love the blue sky. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

I imagine that people seeing this would have very strong memories of the shocking 9/11 disaster. Well composed image with good lighting and colour with great focus. :) Mary

nice finding, but the "plane" is very small and hardly seem and most of the frame space is empty making this shot very unbalanced

also, the colors and contrast need some pop up

thanks for sharing

I grew up in Cincinnati close to downtown. It's true, compared to small city living it is much more exciting. I like that I can actually read what it says on the blimp, so good focus. I think I would have gotten rid of the other building on the right. The vertical is not straight. Also, the photo is too blue. All other technical merits are terrific. Good luch!

Yes its a good photo, but it took me back to remember 9/11, I had to look twice, I'm sorry but that's what I saw! Glad its a good thing going on. Very pretty blue hews and good sky color to bring out the objects. Nice DOF,focus and camera shot. Good luck in the contest.

It can create a suspense, not a good one. It is clearly a balloon, however, I shook inside, when I saw it. If that was your goal; you reached it.
I apologize, if I sound too harsh: I actually like your composition and the way you use the coincidence for the interesting shot.
I suppose, the terror in Paris brought those horrors of September11 back for me. And your picture made me sad beyond the picture jokes( which I like and do myself).
Thank you for sharing

Interesting piece...and like you say definitely can stirs up some not so pleasant memories! But all the blues in this photo are indeed intense....thank you for sharing!
