Looked out the kitchen window and saw this floating by... so jumped in the car and went off to chase it down! Found it landing less than a mile down the road and took a bunch of pics.

Cropped off a bit of sky to the left, bumped up the saturation a bit and maybe another small adjustment (used GIMP for the first time instead of Photoshop).

This is a very striking image and has caught my eye each time through. The colors of the balloon are great and they stand out nicely against the blue sky and faint cloud patterns. I wish a bit more of the balloon were in the frame...not much more but what ever you could have gotten cause its pattern interests me more. But as it the prolly was not stationary, I'm sure your did what you could. Great composition! Good Luck!

What makes this image for me is that the contrails in the sky echo the lines of the balloon. I like your composition/crop as well. 8.

Have to confess this left me cold at first but then as you look at it, allow your imagination to wander ... yeah, there are several layers in this that make this happen in a subtle way.

Fabulous colours. I would have scored this a lot higher, but sorry, i am one of the "tilt-haters" ;)

Intriguing angle, I'd kinf of like to see just a little bit more of the balloon.

Good eye on this composition--the obvious balloon patterns with the radiating sky pattterns makes this extremely interesting.

I like the crop, it's different.

excellent capture - I like the crop or layout - balloon in lower corner is great way to go and the lines in the sky seem to jet right out of the balloon for you - nice work :)

i like the composition of this shot. What if you adjusted curves to deepen the tones? Just a thought.
