This is so incredible, it looks like this photo with airborne balloons matching the tree limbs was staged. At first glance they look like something the tree grew and then released to the air like floating seed pods. This a beyond amazing photo! Daphne Oberon

What an unusual view. Those dry crocked branches seem to frame one of the balloons and point out the two others. The colors of the balloons pop up from the blue sky and draw our eyes to the diagonal of their flight. The tall format emphsizes the all three of the balloons nicely.

Very nice scene! I like how the hot air balloons are framed by the tree branches. You must have waited until they were all in the right position to take this picture. Great sharpness and detail.

This is a simple but stunning capture. I love the way the tree branches interact with the balloons, and that lovely clear sky. Excellent work.

A very unique capture of these balloons Dale. I like the way you used the bare trees as a frame. Good center of interest and story telling ability.
Your lighting and exposure are well controlled. Good impact and technique. Good technical excellence. Lovely colors and well composed.

Regards,

Paul

A very nice nature/sports scene presented here! Your fine and subtle composition grants us a fascinating look at both nature and sport. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done!

Nice shot with a lot of interest. I don't know if you had changed position a little or waited another minute, but you might have gotten the balloons looking like they were resting on the tree branches. Interesting to look at, good color and focus. Well seen and well shot. Thank you for sharing.

What a creative and neat way to capture the balloons. Very artistic. It looks like the branches have tossed them in the air. Beautifully shot with superb clarity and fine detail. Well done!
