floating by, a photo from Western, West

Photographer's Note

the peace and freedom of the balloon ride over the masai mara.
a better perspective of its vastness and the wealth of wildlife is afforded..not to mention you arent stuck to the game trails so animal activity is better viewed.

Great composition. The balloon is placed just right with the hill leading your eye right to it and opposite the tree.

Lovely landscape! You managed a very well balanced picture, and very harmonious. The composition is perfect to me. I like the shaprness of the picture, the opposition balloon / tree, the hill line that leads the eye from one handside to anouther, the grass enlightened by the sun that seems to be like blond hair..;o)
I think maybe you could have enhanced the colors with PS (the balloon seems a little bit dark...not sure about that...) Anyway, an excellent shot, peaceful and beautiful! Bravo :) TFS
Cheers,
Pris.

A lovely landscape! Having the balloon there was a great bonus. I love the interaction between it and the tree: the three looks like it is pointing right at the balloon.

Hi Geof,

Perfect timing here. Really like this shot where you manage to get the quiet atmosphere.

I did some years ago over Serengeti.....what an experience.

Hi Geof,
I like this view, it would have been an attractive one with only the natural elements but the balloon adds colors and a splendid balancing effect to it.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

Suberbe photo :
j'aime vraiment ce décor pour la montgolfière. j'ai l'habitude d'en voir mais dans ce cadre là, jamais (jusqu'à aujourd'hui)
Bravo et merci

Hello Geof. Nice picture, I like the composition with the tree and the balloon. I also think that the colors could have been improved a bit to get more contrast. Pascal
