 While learning how to be a ground crew member for launching and recovering hot air balloons, I found out how cool hot air ballooning could be.

This is a classic view of a balloon--well done. I think it might have been improved though with more even lighting (strange as it sounds to say that!)

The central composition work well here. Clean, crisp and bright colours. Spot on.

not a dominant yellow for which you may loose votes, but a good shot anyway

One of the best ballon shots I've ever seen...great sky and vibrant colours. Nice entry to this challenge...would be near the top if it were up to only me.

The focus and colors and just wonderful. I'm a little concerned about the centered composition. I know it works sometimes, but I'm just not sure it worked here. I guess the final votes will tell, because that's the only thing I can see that might hurt your scoring. BOL on a very nice entry.

That's definately an interesting perspective and a great choice of subject. The sky is beautiful which causes all the focus to be on the balloon. The overall quality is extremely clear and the colors come out very crisp on my monitor. great job!

I like the unusual angle that turns the balloon into a semi-abstract. And you got a great sky for this picture.

What a sky. The yellow on the sun side is just a little overexposed. All in all, you have a nice distribution of light over the underbody on what is obviously a very bright day. A 9.

Cool image and crystal clear. The red competes a bit for attention with the yellow but not too badly. Unusual angle which is nice.
