nice shot for such a tough subject.
its hard to put anything in balloon photos besides clouds and roof tops, so this is an excellent composition.
I assume by the reflection that it was taken from the water level. is that water beneath the balloon as well? wish it was a bit more clear there.
in all, a great misty atmosphere.
I think the bottom part doesnt add much to the shot (the reflection part).

Whoa.. what a great shot. Even with the lag when shooting with digital, you caught the balloon at the perfect moment in relationship with the sun. Well done. A really great photo. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Eerie indeed. I guess the dragon-like sound of the heating device in the baloon must have added to the impression. The picture is all contrast. It looks so simple and beautiful. Weeds, water, sun, steam, clouds and the baloon interact perfectly to create a great atmosphere.

Really very beautiful with the mist above the water, the outline of the grass, and that huge sun about to be overtaken by the baloon.

Like it so much. Many things talks for you in. Beautifull contrast, the fog, nice subject, and good composition. Ok, maybe all the bottom is not necessary.
Thumb up. **

Belle composition les herbes en contre-jour font un premier plan de toute beauté. Le soleil semble dévorer le ballon. J'ai ajouté le cliché au thème "Montgolfiers".
