Very cool capture, and thanks for sharing it with us in the challenge. I think this one scored fairly appropriately. It looks like some HDRish post processing, which was pretty well done considering the lighting you were working with. I bet the experience was awesome. Of course, different lighting angles would have been preferable, but not bad at all considering what you were working with. Thanks for the chance to critique.

I don't know what's better, to be in the balloon or to bask in the genteel view of dawn
