This has to rate as the best "fire" picture. Nicely framed action shot offering some suspense to the uninitiated such as myself. -tv

Thanks for commenting, M.A. ";^) The lighting for this shot was subdued early morning... I did give it a twist of contrast, tho. Thanks again, -mikey

I agree, I like the action and the close up shot works really well.

I like the activity in this shot, Mikey, but the image seems sort of flat. Would you consider increasing the contrast? --Mary Anne

Thanks, guys! I'll send the other one to Exhibition, for now. I've only had one ride in a HA balloon and it was amazing! I didn't expect the quiet. No wind, mostly sounds from the ground, dogs barking, etc. and an occasional blast of the flame. The only real action is landing. I guess that can be a bit hair-raising, but on the flight I took, it was a breeze ";^) Cheers, -mikey

I guess these guys need to know what they are doing eh? This does capture the heat best of the two pix- well done Mikey. Do you ever go up in these balloons? ~Brent

I agree with Tom. The intensity of the flame is captured very well here. -COAmature

I really like this one Mikey! The contrast of the bright colors inside against the drab outside & matching cloths. Good job capturing the intensity of the moment, keeping this mammoth thing under control, before getting it up & away. (A bit of a testosterone thing going on also? This ain't no 'girly' pic!)
