Nice isolation and color.

I like the hot air balloon shot through the silhouettes of two others. It almost looks like a diamond shape.

Hot air balloons are so cool, the focus here seems a bit soft but the lighting looks cool.

Hot air balloons at night? cool shot, I can imagine these things would give off a nice glow in the dark.

That's pretty neat!
03/15/2009 07:03:55 AM
if its meant to be abstract, it could be at least sharp...
Im pretty sure you would find better pic in your porfolio although you may have some special 'relationship' to them pic.. dunno...

Creative and fun. A bit "hot" around the flame (imagine that), but nicely balanced. "alloon Debut" as the curtains rise...

Great colors and shapes.

awesome pic - i think if you ran this through noise ninja and boost the contrast / hue and sats it would be SUPERB
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful framing and lighting. Abstract, yet still distinct.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the very graphic look of this image. The colours, also, are beautiful.

Nice colors, but it feels like it needs some contrast/

Good sense of design, color. Very well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:11:55 PM
really, a balloon, I was wondering until I looked at the title, love the colors, what a great idea for a photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:09:56 PM
could use some sharpening and saturation boosting. cool **curtains?** in front of the ballon
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:46:59 PM
Very cool image. Almost an abstract until it hits you in the face! Lovely.

The colors are great, so as the light. I'm just not sure about the silhouettes of other balloons...i think that the colored balloon alone would be enough. Nice shot! Good luck.

Absolutely love this

Almost looks as though the ballon is taking the stage as the curtains open.

love the curves of the 2 foreground balloons ... they compliment the featured balloon nicely ...
