G'day Lisa,I can really appreciate the difficulties in photographing this.
The result is truly amazing and made with such clarity and precision.
It certainly is a split second frozen in time but it is also one that has been frozen in great light with an equally great exposure.
Very, very well done that girl and a well done to the balloon piercing device operator. 8-)
