This is terrific!. The composition is great & the bright colors of the balloons against the clear sky is what this challenge is all about! The crowd of people & color at the bottom gives nice balance. I look forward to seeing the 2007 shots.

Beautiful colors and I like the side balloon view.

Terrific shot and full of color. I wonder if it might help to clone out the N2483Z in the center balloon?

Thanks for the comments, Tom, K2 & Rod. This is a yearly event and its coming up again pretty soon. One of the things I will get up early (5AM) for. They start taking off at sunrise and there must be 50 balloons that take part in this exhibition, to say nothing of the 1,000s of ppl. This last year I wanted to get there before sunrise to get the color plus the flames; that's really dramatic but I was about half an hour late. I'll try again next month ":^) Cheers, -mikey

The early morning light makes all the difference well done on the shot & for getting up early to get it:-)

Gorgeous, Mikey. Nice to have more than mountains to shoot. Outstanding use of the 10mm Sigma. This really sells that lens. -tv
