Now this I like. I'm not quite sure about having the basket dead center in the image...personally I might try playing around with the crop and try using the rule of thirds and that balloon on the right hand side is a little dark (if shot in RAW I might open the shadows a bit) but otherwise, I think this is a nice capture.

Peace,
Jim

Yep it's shot in RAW ... the balloon is black and the sun is setting on the right side.

I like the framing of the shot. BTW, I wonder if Wash. DC ever has a hot air balloon festival or is that pretty much a daily occurrence. ;)


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.
