[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were having a quiet evening by the lake when suddenly those 3 (or 6) balloons appeared from the distance and then flew slowly over us. It sure made our night - we had never seen hot-air-balloons there. It was beautiful and fun to watch.

Hi Birgit,
I could only see this from the thumbnail because the whole photo won't fit on my screen- I love how they seem to form a semi circle! The colours (being sunset time) look quite nice. Was it a scanned image though? I tried a workshop and noticed a strange pattern that doesn't look like camera noise in the sky when I darkened it...
Well done,
Jako

Hi Birgit,
Fantastic capture of these 'six' balloons. The reflextion is wonderful. One little tine comment: the frame disturbs the picture a bit (but thats only my opinion). Nevertheless great shot and TFS!

O, Birgit!
a smashing capture of these baloons over the mirror of the lake! Great colors! Try to use Neat image or PS CS2 programs to reduce the jpeg compression effect of the tiny squares...
I expect many more from your beautiful photos...

Nice symetric photo, the balloons form a pretty angle. I like that texture seen on (under?) the sky as well as the frame.

Hello Birgit, very good shot indeed , well done on spotting this, very well composed image .TFS

Hi BIrgit,
Very nice photo, great capture. Well done!
Cheers

Nice pic, Birgit! I did, like others note the squares appearing and NeatImage does a great job. I just tested it on one tonight. Great subject, dof, pov and focus. How you caught this makes the horizon necessary to be in the center so that's good, too.

Hello Birgit,
Beautifull composition.Nice framing. TFS Thomas

Beautiful shot Birgit. What's the causing the pattern in the sky here? Looks like some kind of PP texture. Or maybe it was shot through a screening of some kind. Please do tell!

Hi Birgit,
This is quite amazing... Superb use of the principle of three, in double!!
The landscape itself is pleasant, addition of the balloons makes it outstanding!
I notice this strange pattern in sky & water, don't know what that is?
Greetings,
