It looks Beautiful up there..A Fine scene and so Wonderful shot.

My first thought upon seeing this picture is how wonderful it would be to go up in one of these balloons and hear no noise, just drift across the country side. Serenity. Except there probably IS noise (and it is probably kind of cold). Still, I think you have captured the essence of this sport...the reason why people do this. Good job blocking the (rising?) sun with the grounded balloon.

The back lighting of the resting balloon gives it a hint of luminescence. An interesting effect.
