Reckon you'd be hard-pressed to get a better balloon arrangement and the step back through the ridge lines is great. Their view looking down would be pretty special too.

His/her feet don't look real healthy but the bird and branches are very nicely isolated from the background.

Nicely anchored by the elbow bend in the track, with some good leads to the central hill.

Big thumbs up for this one - fab comp emphasising the plants and minimising the sky.

The terrain still fascinates; exotic mix of vegetation types, rocks and hillside forms. Snakes moving yet?

Impressive, I can just about count the people in the basket.

Nice detail and colour on birdie; just a few more tiny colour artefacts to nudge

One thing I am missing is a good long zoom. You get good results from this lens, well done.

nice and the mountains layers are nice.
We have a balloon festival here in Sussex NB every year in Sept, now here in Sept its coldish and windyish
So for 4 years we have been and they never take off.......thats it we are done....then they take off the year we did not go.

my wife (Jean) cut my hair, the guys at work asked if I put my fingers in a light socket.
Its not that bad and it saved me $17 to put towards camera stuff.
