Hello Dongan,
I like this one with the low horizon showing only the top of the mountains. The twigs on the left nicely frame the photo. Best of all is the bright blue sky with balloons just everywhere. Well composed and well done,
Harko

Very cool photo Dongan and very apt title!

The only problem for me is that the I would like to see more of the mountains rather than just the tops -- but TravelerNL seems to really like it that way, so who knows!?

take care,
steve

Hello Dongan,
Good use of the trees as a foreground subject to frame the balloons in behind. It provides a nice DOF with the mountains in the rear.
Photo is sharp throughout, great job.
I can see where TravelerNL and stevep are coming from. I see the need to encompass as many balloons as possible (I would have been greedy) so I can see why you chose to crop the mountains. On the other hand I suspect if you stepped back a touch you could have pleased stevep. Oh well, still a nice subject and photo.

How lovely. On the thumbnail, I did not know what the "dots" were, so I had to click larger. I love how the balloons are so small when usually they dominate a shot. Very artistic and original. Nice sky colors too. I like the low mountain horizon too.
