Don't mind the callories. I would like to try it anyway. Great capture with the interesting variation of different textures and colours which make an eye to explore the photo detail by detail...

What a hoot. I have never been able to capture a usable hot air balloon photo--you know right place, right time. Great shot with the added humor or the B&J.

Nice shot but I'll pass.. Not good with flying..

Beautiful photo and looks really fun.............however..........I don't like heights (I think that's why God made me short! :)..........but, I have to admit, because of the beautiful capture here, I would be way tempted to try it! :)
Wonderful and top vote!

What a delicious manipulation!!!!!!!

Yummy ! I knew I loved hot air balloons & now I have an added reason ! How fun is this ! Love it !

Nice capture! Well done with vibrant colors and the dreamy sky. Maybe you have cropped this a bit but you have done it really well.

Absolutely off the hook! Into my favs it goes. Your composition, color, texture and light is impeccable.

What a wonderful thing to have found to take this great photo of! It must have made you yell out with happiness eh?!This kind of picture is something ya cant go wrong with..congrats.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a manipulation as well.

What a gorgeous shot ... the detail, clarity and composition particularly; a very strong element ... are incredible.

For such a fanciful subject you really have 'brought this one down to earth,' in a very, very good way. (Hey, it may not make complete sense, you will have to excuse the sugar rush. ;) )

Annnd ... yeah ... the giggle was most welcomed. Nice work.

Excellent capture Chip! I love to watch the hot air balloons. We have the "Great Balloon Race" here every year in September. There is a 'hare' balloon and then the 'hounds' chase it. Whoever lands closest to the hare wins. It is wonderful to see all the different shapes and vivid colors. This capture is crystal clear and these balloons look awesome against that sky. Good color, quality, clarity and composition. Thanks :~)

I just love this. All those bright colors against the beautifuly blue sky. Those dainty little flowers on the ground and the scenery in the background... it all works so nicely. Great capture!!!!

Great shot and unique subject I like it

It's a great landscape to begin with. The bright colors really explode in this setting on a bright, clear day. They composed themselves nicely for you too.

Gorgeous photo, great color and composition!

This is one great shot. I like the presentation very much.
