[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The balloons were out again early this morning, at dawn, when the winds are favourable for flying. I heard the whoosh overhead of the gases escaping and knew they were flying right over the house.

So, ran outside and managed to capture this one before he disappeared into the heavens!

The chase vehicles sometimes have a devil of a time keeping track of these balloons.

Hi Joni
Do you live in Albuquerque?
I lived there as an exchange student a long time ago (Dec 1970 -June 1971) but I think there was no balloon festival in that time. It may be a beautiful show, I wonder!
I liked the shot! TFS !

Love it. The hopeful colours going upward are great. sharp throughout. Slightly off center is good too. TFS. K2

Hello Joni,

Eye-catching colours and fine lines!
I like the tight framing, and the skin of the balloon is captured with good textures...
Well balanced composition and fine dynamics!

Hi Joni,
I really dont know how I missed this photo earlier. Its a beauty. Stunning colours and clarity. Very nice composed too...like how you not tried to capture the entire the balloon, but have filled the upper portion of the shot with it. Well done!
