This is way cool! Too bad about the sky being pretty washed out, and I would also try to bring out the shadowed portion of the balloon a bit more too. I'm going to a balloon festival next weekend and I'd like to try a shot like this.
Spectacular reflection - amazing clarity & colors. Really great capture! I kinda agree with stdavidson though and wonder how it would have scored if it had been flipped 180 degrees. It's wonderful either way. Well done.
This sure got my attention. Congratulations on a very respectable finish! And almost like Bear's blue, you seem to have chalked up an impressive lack of low votes. That really says something. Well done.
Excellent interpretation of challenge. Would have preferred more clarity and perhaps some post work. Maybe a bit more context in the composition, because although it's good, it's a bit hard to understand at first glance.
