Very cool capture. The bottom portion of the shot looks sort of like a flower! (To me, at least!!)

Cool textures. This is unexpected. I like the graphic quality of it.

Wow! Great shot! I've seen similar scenes but was never able to capture it the way you have. Well done!

Really nice colours and texture. I actually think it's nicer with just the little white bits at the top cropped off to make it a touch more abstract.

I was there the year before this one. You were in the right position and ready when this happened. That's what I would call a "high pucker factor moment" for sure.
Ballooning is totally backward from flying in an airplane. You take off with the machine on fire, not knowing exactly where you are going or when you will be getting there, and usually land where there is no airport.
