Taken the same morning as my Free Study entry. But, while the latter was shot facing west, this one was shot facing east ... directly into the sun, which is eclipsed by the balloon.
RAW conversion in ACR
PP in PS CS3 = shadows/highlights, selective color bump of blues/cyans, saturation (master), noise reduction and smart sharpen.

Great catch for this challenge. Well seen and captured! On this monitor here at work I'm seeing some compression artifacts...will have to check it out later at home. Overall, nicely done. Good luck.
