What a beautiful scene. From the haze, I would guess that this was taken very early in the morning when the winds were calm. I like the way you captured the black balloon in the forefront which gives contrast to the red ones and interest to the viewer's eye. Depth of field is good as is framing and exposure.

Floating along with the wind, are five hot air balloons bound for who knows where. They give a 360 degree view of the countryside. This would be a whole lot of fun. The best of luck in the upcoming contest. Ray

Great way to travel slowly so you have enough time to snap some interesting photographs.

Nice colors on the balloons and lush greenery below.

Look like yo had a very overcast day with low clouds or perhaps fog. I love the pink hot air balloons. I can just imagine what it was like to be a passenger on one of them. For the circumstances you had good lighting and focus. You don't see Hot air balloons in many images, so this is a great entry for the transportation contest! Nice Job And Good Luck in the contest! :o) Helvi

What a great form of transportation for this contest! I always love shots with hot air balloons, they're always so colourful.
Your photo is well focused with good dof. I like the composition with the four pink balloons and half a green one on the foreground. A great shame the sky wasn't blue, but hey I guess on a day like this you can't pick the weather! Beat wishes for the contest.

I guess this was taken from another hot air balloon something i want to do although did once go up in a microlight a few years ago and went up about two and a half thousand feet[magical] although its quite a reasonable shot can,t quite work out why you cut the balloon in half and also your dof needed to be much bigger as the far balloons are not sharp which i think in the overall image needed to be,but bet it was a fun trip...Brian

    thanks;
    as you guess, it was taken from another balloon: very close to the one in front; if I turn my camera to include the entire dark ballon, no more land would be included and the bottom of one balloon would be cut; what do you prefer ?

    your welcome and thanks for info and if we review stuff we don,t no circumstances behind a photo so can only review what we see,still think though you needed a wider dof in this.

Wonderful image! So colorful and cheery. Love the early morning fog on the horizon. The angle allows us to see the perspective of how large the balloons are compared to the road and home. Excellent entry for the contest. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful view across the countryside of Myanmar from your Hot Air balloon with four red & one black balloon ahead of yours as you float over the many Temples surrounded by trees below you. The morning mist adds an air of mystery to your picture. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

The aerial shot of the hot air balloons is really good . The contrast between the bright sky and and the lush green of the trees creates a strong visual effect. The sense of height and scale is emphasized by the fact that you can see the tops of the trees below. While the idea of traveling on a hot air balloon may be exciting for some, it's completely not for me Lol Did you actually got on one of those hot air balloons? !? I applaud your courage! And this is one great entry for this contest. Unexpected one !

    as you can see, it is not taken from the ground but from a baloon....

    It was a rhetorical question...

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a good view of those floating balloons. Glad I am not in one of them! Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!
