A little soft and contrasty. Don't care for the background either.

I like the back lighting on the ears.

The light is nice, and I like the girls. IMO would be better if you cropped the right side of the photo out.

Nice colors and bokeh. The stem on the right is distracting. Might have worked better with a verticle aproach.

Stunning shot. Great on so many technical levels. What I like best though is the way it fits the challenge. You can feel the heat from the background, and the added heat from those legs. The contrasting cool fireman gives the photo balance. I appreciate all the effort you put into this. Congratulations on your well deserved ribbon.

Thank You everybody for your great comments and votes. I took this shot from a hill top, overlooking the valley fog. The balloon came from the annual Speidie fest and Balloon rally, held in Binghamton every year. The balloon was near the next hill top over, breaking through the morning fog.

Good idea. The fire is blown out, and the background is too washed out.
