Neat shot Art! I think the composition is great. Definitely a unique perspective. Only thing I can think of that might work a bit better (and this is very subjective) is if the white panel of the balloon were pointing towards the top of the photo frame, which would also make the basket vertical in the photo as well.

Hardly a big deal though...and completely subjective to your tastes. I think it looks pretty cool just like it is.

Nice job!

I agree that the composition is good. I can almost see the balloon drifting into the open space.

Great Idea for a shot! I love the colors and the contrast against the blue sky. And I love hot air balloons!
