dammit, last image and was going to just leave nice shot and nothing else as iv been making a point not to do that, but i like your shot too much to do that. really great composition and colours. i like that there seems to be another balloon just starting to appear through the clouds on the bottom right. great work.

This will probably take the blue. Excellent use of negative space in this photo. Great concept. I saw several other balloon shots in this challenge that didn't come close to this. (10)

I think this photo would do well in super large dimensions. I think it loses something at this size though. Good exposure.
