 We met up with the balloon people at 5:30 am and followed them to the launch site. This was the most fun I have had for a very long time and definitely worth getting up before first light.

Super cool shot! I keep looking for balloon events near where I live, but always find them the week after they took place. 8(

Y'all ? :)

i was hoping to enter a hot air balloon shot too. but the weather is just starting to get good enough for them to fly.

i think with some more PP - the juxtapostion of the spikey cactus and the balloons could have become more of a theme.

Not the greatest pasting of objects in the picture (cacti). Everything else is very nice!

Love the balloons, but the cacti in the foreground immediately grab my attention, and both of them have some stuff going on there that hurts the photo.
