This is a pretty cool picture. Don't look like an abstract picture but it's still an awesome picture. Where was you when you took this picture?
I love the colors and you got good clear focus!
Awesome job and good luck in the contest!

    Thank you so very much! It was a balloon festival in Owensboro a couple of years ago.

    It's so funny how we are in the same contest again. I love to make pictures that is not into focus and make them into abstract art!
    This contest is perfect for me but then I came across this picture and I said Damn, Damn, Damn I am going to lose again to you!
    This sucks raw eggs lol! But this picture is pretty awesome. How many hot air balloons went into the air that day?

    You have to understand, I study photography every day almost every second of the day. I have a lot of experience and very good equipment. I also have a feel for what the judges want. I hope you can win a contest someday!

What an excellent angle getting this shot was just perfect.

The colors, the angle, all are just breathtaking!

You have quite the designers eye. Well done.

    WOW! Thank you so much! I have been saving this for something so since I had nothing better for the abstract contest I thought this might work. Thank you for the high score too!
Comment from donkeyoatey


It DOES look abstract..And the angle is very different and unusual..Should save one for the unusual angles contest! I think the shadow and light are interesting and well shot. Donkeyoatey

Hello Willie

Inside the balloon during filling. Been there and done that and it is fun. And you are right the sun shinning through the thin material makes for interesting patterns.

Your colors are rich and the image is in focus throughout. Good story image well done.

    Thank you so very much! I don't know if it will pass for abstract or not I guess it all depends on the judges.

Nice shot of the interior of this balloon, like the shadows and shapes seen through the skin due to the nice light

I love this W! What a unique capture! We get an inside view of these amazing balloons! Fab use of natural light! Love the shadows.
Nice shot!

Comment from Kbanich


Wow - your balloon shot makes my previous ones look ridiculous. LOL

I'm going to have to get Topaz! I don't think some of these images are possible without it. Would you mind sharing your camera settings on this shot?

I have no suggestions or recommendations. This is an incredible shot that personally inspires me to keep reading and practicing.

Technical elements - ha, ha, ha.. Nothing to say - your a master.

Artistic elements are unique and offer a view not many get a chance to see. Great frame with phenomenal Initial Impact.

    Thank you so very much for a great review and high score!
    I am using an Olympus E3 camera with a 12/60mm f2.8 lens. 125/sec f20. I was taking the reading on the lighted part which makes all the rest under exposed. The dark areas was brought out with the use of topaz.
