Paradise indeed! What a . . . I don't even know what to say to express how cool this photo is on every level! Tulips are my favorite flower -- not that one would ever survive the Texas, winter-deprived heat here, but its why a photo like this completely knocks the wind out of me. Congratulations on such a prestigious finish in this amazing challenge!
Such an incredible shot. Not sure if this is an outtake from a previous challenge (I recognize this from somewhere), but still a strong photo. Im sure this will do well.
How wonderful that the reds and yellows in the tulips echo the reds and yellows in the balloons... what a surreal and serene scene. I do actually find myself wishing the photog was not in the shot, LOL.
Excellent colour and composition... I love the story it tells... always like a story,.. now this is a flower photo that I like. :)
Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is #8 in the series

Some distance from the devastation on the coast, life went on...
Def. paradise and more now with these balloons going up as well. Super Image. Trees on skyline is great with things happening in the field as well. Really nice 8
Very nice use of lines and color. The sky seems to be darkened unnaturally, though, and I would prefer the photog to be a bit larger element of the photo. A tighter crop, leaving out the other 3 balloons would be another great image. 7
your colors are superior...such a brilliant and wonderful shot!!! I love tulips...I assume this was in Holland (Europe) or was it at Holland, MI? I used to live near there...but I don't think it was ever this beautiful...
this offers so much to observe from the beautiful tulips to the colorful balloons even to the guy in the middle who spoils it "joking"
i am sure this will do well *10* from me
Love the leading lines of the tulips as they guide my eye to the horizon to marvel at the beautiful colors of the hot air balloons taking flight. The beautiful reds and yellows of the floral floor are picked up and complemented in the various colors of the balloons. Yes, indeed this is a wonderful and beautiful moment to fire off some photos like this photographer here is doing. Makes me wish I was along side to drink in the sights live and take some photos of my own:-) Very beautiful photo along with some great memories I'm sure.
This is a beautifully process image. The colors of the tulips and bollons match well. The drawback is the photographer, he kind of spoils the scene for me.
This is great. The trees balance each other, the balloons balance each other and the color scheme ties them all together. I love the guys jeans being the same color as the upper sky. It's kind of busy but yet it all works. Nicely done. If I could nit anything, it might be that house in the left along the horizon, but no big deal. 8
