Balloons big and small......
Albuquerque Balloon festival with 600+ balloons. Quite the visual spectacle. These balloons are participating in a competition , hence the reason they are spaced so close together and so low to the ground.
It is very exciting to watch them jockeying for position by these very skilled pilots. The competitions are keenly fought as the prizes are substantial.

Love this shot Joni! Great composition with just a strip of grass at the bottom, and the big sky above. And the three main colorful balloons positioned to the right - excellent.
Great job.
Trudy

lovely....good pov

Wonderful!!
I love the bright colors and great details. I think it could use a bit of contrast, but the frame looks good.
TFS!

Great shot! Sharp and colourful.

Hello Joni,a perfect composition with the asymmetrical arrangement of the balloons.They offer such great photo opportunities don't they?
Good balance of land and sky; plenty of sky for the balloons to sail into.
Tfs, regards Jean.

HI Joni
Balloons are definitely different sizes, and we do see some weirdos at times but these types are my favorites.
Well done shot with colors galore.

Hi Joni,
Good idea you had to include this photo in the theme! It fits so well! The clarity and sharpness are very good, but, what I like more here, this is the joyful mood and the great freedom impression released.
Very well done! Annie

Hi Joni,

very colourful. It looks a bit dangerous to me when they are so close together ? but it's a nice view and it must be handy pilots. tfs,
