The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta...
So many balloons and so many colours and patterns. As one member said-'A fiesta of colour' and it is that.
I was struck be the geometric beauty and colour of this grouping.

These balloons were flying and competing in a competition called ' Texas Hold Em' where they had a try to grab the prize off of a long pole. Difficult to do, as only the pilot can grab for the item while he is also navigating. Tomorrow, I will post the image of the pole in the WS.
I went to the Balloon Museum today and tried my hand at flying one of these boyos on the simulator. Not easy! needless to say, I missed the target area. I had great fun though.

Hi Joni,
The geometry and composition here is outstanding. The gradient in the sky and the low clouds give you the idea of extreme altitude.
Were you in a balloon too?
Awaesome image!

Hi Joni
What great sharp colors! Nice composition
with good light. Well done job, TFS.

Hi Joni,

Colorful and sharp, nice to look at!
Regards, Marga

What a stunning POV .The colours are beautiful.
Wonderful light. Have a very nice day.
Carme.

yes, wow, colors in the sky! :-) excellent pov and composition, i like it even slightly better than the one you are showing us on
TE, i guess it is because of the concentration of the pretty balloons on the one spot. great job & take care, thor.

very good colors, really vivid and crisp.
like the way you placed your baloons and your
framing is done well. very professional.
good clear and blue skies.
compliments.

hello Joni

Wonderful balloon ride! How I wish I could be on them and shoot aerial photo from the box. Did you go up in one of these?

I like your POV of shooting the bright light from the side and the blue sky to show the colorful balloons, especially I like the overlap of the canvas in this cluster of positions.

Then the 2 smaller ones at the right side to give depth. Great angle of shot and I could not have done better than this.

tfs, bill
