balloon over parking lot

Saw several of the balloons over our neighborhood this evening…messed way too long with this (another phone photo) trying for something interesting.

What a great capture, love the hot air balloon, you also captured a great sun reflection on the street.

Dreamy.

I like the light shining on the ground.

Beautiful shot with golden glow on the ground and the balloon above.

Think you got a very interesting shot, especially with the light coming down like that. Great shot.

[Elizabeth]

Cool shadows and light!

[Kate]

So nice to see one flying by

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Very nice

[Carrie Shepeard]

Great capture! Right place, right time.

[Jane Pittenger]

Nice light

[GaryW]

Great shot! The sun on the ground makes for an interesting contrast.

If you ever feel like playing with it again, try coming in a little from the right, cropping in portrait orientation and taking out more of the parking lot so the balloon comes forward in the picture some. The back lighting on the balloon is great and so is the sun coming through the trees. The rest of the picture is sort of pulling away from them so that's how I'd eliminate the distraction- just a thought! Love the balloon!

@olivetreeann thanks for your input. I messed with this so much that after awhile nothing looks right. :). I’ll give your suggestions a try!

Amy, thanks for your comment re the mundane clock challenge. It was a subject in 2015. There were only 6 entries for that challenge. I will check both tags when my challenge is complete just in case someone tags mundane-clock instead of mundane-clocks.

@salza I figured that out after I commented! Your solution should work fine. :)
