 This is my first competition. This shot was taken late evening during the Hot Air Balloon festival in Kingston, RI. While I don't expect much from this, I just wanted the experience for upcoming competitions. Not much done to this. Just a basic crop and levels to diminish the ballons in the backdrop.

I would love to have seen the whole balloon, you must have a shot of it that you can post in the outtake thread after this challenge.

Good one for this challenge. A bit oversaturated to my taste or may be the white balance makes it yellowish.

good clarity and positioning of subject; exposure gives interesting effect with balloon forms visible against night sky.
