Love the sand, love the balloons, love the shadows, but I really wish it was zoomed in closer. I keep wanting to look closer and then realizing that I can't. I think it could have been an 8 closer, is a 6 as is...

Fantastic setting. This would have been a lot stronger for me if we were closer to the balloons

Very neat shot. I would have cropped out the sky, but nice image. 7

wonderful image and I wonder how it was made, since I don't see any footsteps or other tracks direct around the balloons. Are they cloned in?
Worth 8 anyway!
