Beautiful orange! Gives me the sense of adventure and the excitement of the people waiting for it to rise.

@LeahBug Love the shot! Great eye. I would personally try to play around with cropping out the lower right corner a bit, but this absolutely rocks for straight out of the camera!

- LeahBug@ChristopherWilliam Thank you very much. I played with the cropping before, but I could never get it right and it looked unbalanced. I finally gave up and left it as is. Not sure how to crop it and keep it looking even.

nice shot! did you play with curves / contrast at all? i'm wondering if there is room for the contrast to be increased. or perhaps even better, to increase the black point
18 September 2011
- LeahBug@kanonkop I went and enchanced the contrast after reading your comment and you were right! It didn't make a huge difference, but it draws your eye to the silhouettes better. Thanks!

Great shot, fancy colours and beautifull sillouettes.. i wonder if it would add if they were sharper... but im actually not sure about that...

were you IN the balloon?

- LeahBug@luc @kanonkop This is a non edited shot, I hadn't tried enhancing anything. The balloon was laying on it's side. I was right behind the basket. I might try editing it.

I love the simplicity of this image (even though it would not have been simple to capture)...
