Great Colors, Nice and sharp and love the contrast with the sky.
Nice catch with the flame also.

Is that a bicycle hanging from it? Never seen that before....
Great shot did you get any with a larger area around it. Some sky and maybe a cloud or two would look nice.

I love the colors and the pattern (I think I use to have a pair of pants like that) anyway I agree that it may be cropped to close. Great picture!!

I disagree , I think the crop is fine. Any more sky mat take away from the ballon, which is magnificent

thanks for all the positive feedback

appreciate all comments.......


The bicycle is hanging from the gondola because there was a race for charity.

The balloons took off with the bikers to fly for a predetermined
time or distance, the balloon then lands and the bicyclist races back to the balloon port where they took off.

Cash prizes were awarded to charity for the first four to complete the race.
