Early morning balloon ride in Sedona AZ... What a way to start your day! I flipped this one so as to make a better desktop if anyone chose to use it. Thanks for any comments, much appreciated! :)
Very Nice capture. I do think you couild have used a mask to the left of the image and darkened and raised the contrast a bit on h left. that would have given it more of a evan exposure and a much cleaner presentation.
Excellent composition in a circumstance where you have no control over your point of view. The use of the road/valley on the ground to create an angle and the positioning of the balloon really create wonderful balance. Definitely will be going on my DT.
Low-level aerials are the best of this genre, far better than looking out a jet window so high you can't tell what you're looking at. I normally don't like to see haze in a photo but here it's an essential element, helping to establish the fact that it's a morning photo. The real surprising thing to me is seeing that it's been on Caedes for almost 3 years and has a rather limited number of views and downloads. Well, Nik's mama never raised a fool... saved and faved! It's outstanding.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
