I love hot airr balloons. Makes me want to take another ride in one. Great colors and the vertical format works really well. I like the reflections too. Looks like a bit of added ripple in post-processing?
So cool...one of these days I'd love to go up in one of these things. The relection in the water is really pretty, as are the colors in this photo. Great capture.
One of my faves of the challenge. Great colors, detail, the reflection is so cool. Just an awesome pic overall. Hope this is scoring gangbusters for you.
