A balloon bokeh.... neat shot. I shoot from behind people all the time... I really like the angle a lot... you did it well here....

Fantastic! The tops of heads in the foreground tickle my sense of space nicely too. Very well shot!

Wonderful photo. I agree with Shadowgolem about the heads in the foreground helping give the photo that little extra.

This is great, one of the coolest bokehs that I've seen in a while! Crop suggestion may make it even better?

THIS IS EYE CANDY! Please post this amazing photo to the Eye Candy! Group.

Such a beautiful shot. Great compostions and colours. I personnaly don't agree with the crop as the sense of her risng above the crowd (as you've titled it) would be lost.

I saw this in the Bokeh October 18 slideshow and had to stop to get a better look.

I love it! Colors and composition all work well. The other people's heads help give the photo a better perspective of being "above the crowd".
