 Image made on the salt flats. Thanks for all of the comments. This is my third highest score so far. The composition lends itself to a lot of interpretations, which I like.

Love the bright light and colorful shadows -- they way they all blow to the left is terrific.

Very fun picture. The contrast of the baloons and the snow (?) is beautiful, and the captured color in the shadows ins a wonderful detail. Good job!

Looks like the salt flats in Utah. You must live near me! I like the composition here, and you've used the negative space of the flats well. With a title like "thirsty", it might also work to have a goblet of water or something. Nice work.

This is utterly excellent :-) There's a palpable sense of yearning here, you have given the balloons actual personality.

The landscape is beautiful especially the part where the white sand meets the mountains and the baby blue sky. As far as the balloons go, I don't think I'm too crazy about the composition and the angle you shot from.
