had this been a week earlier i would have been good since i was at two birthday parties, but i had no time with Christmas and finals to play with any balloons.
I think it's because it's near Xmas and people are very busy at the moment.
Not a lot of time to go out shooting.
This is likely a big reason. Perhaps we need one of those hidden gem type challenges. Give a date range and use any photo from then, may get a few more entires.

Yes I already suggested that a few days ago. I have some beauties.
this is why i didnt enter, i contacted local baloon company that do the flights in the peak district national park, went at 6am in the morning on deadline day and the weather wasnt right so they didnt inflate the ballon wasted trip and then didnt want to bother getting small balloons and also had dinner with new g/f so didnt enter. got a beaut of a balloon from 3 months ago though lol
I'm surprised that there are no hot air ballooning photos. I know it's winter in the US, but the challenge is world wide.
can't you fly hot air balloons in the winter?
Sure! It's actually easier to lift hot air balloons when the air temp is low. But, when the prevailing winds are violent, you don't want to be in a runaway balloon.
I just have to say I find the none member challenges have become very boring, the subjects just don't intrest.. wasn't it allways so that we none members had two choices each week?
I think to boost DPC popularity again we need to do more for those that do not have the option to pay the membersfee..

+1, even as a member I like the idea of choice
I did not enter this challenge as my dream image is of many balloons taking off in the mist at sunrise in Rocamadour, France (aaah, dreaming again :)

Krisby - it was so for a few years, but in the beginning there was only one...
It became necessary to add a second one when entries to the Open Challenge sometimes reached 400 and even more entries.
