My choice for blue. It's like it came out of a H.G. Wells book! Congrats on the PH yellow.

I've taken pictures at balloon events, so I know what a great achievement this photo is. That balloon looks the size of a city.

An excellent shot and composition. I love the BW work. 10

I would love to see what this one looks like in color -- but the b&w does capture the drama.

Interesting choice to use B&W for a balloon burn shot. I am used to seeing the glowing colors in these type shots but I find the B&W strangely compelling and interesting. I love how the B&W accentuates the texture of the balloon and how the light from the burner is lighting the crowd up. Well captured and framed, good luck in the challenge!

This is a WOW image for me! Very well done!

This is great in b/w and I love your sci-fi title.

What a strange and interesting image. Looks like the entire ballon is about to swallow up the crowd. I'll be interested to read about it.

I think this is amazing! Origional, and done very well! IMO this should be in the top ten if not above!!

I really like the B&W processing in this. The light and shadows on the creases on the balloon and the brightness of the flame gives this some drama/tension, especially with the crowd of people underneath.

OMG!!! This is fantastic!!!! Such an unusual take on a popular subject. Simply awesome. And the choice of b/w is brilliant. Like moths drawn to the flame, or abductees drawn to the mother ship... The creases on the balloon are just melting my heart.
