Hot Air Balloon out of the blue

I actually was out getting some landscape when I heard the balloon’s propane fire up just over my head. I was able to change directions and get this as it floated by and down behind the hill. The balloon logo was in perfect position and I couldn’t have planed this any better at a all. This wasn’t the landscape that I was trying to photo. Pretty bland without the Balloon.

Specific Feedback Requested

I increased the Ssaturation on the balloon just a bit to make it stand out.

I just tried to enlarge the picture and got some terrible color artifact across the screen. Hopefully , it is a glitch on my computer and no one else’s.

Hey Charlie, the enlargement worked fine for me…what a hilarious image, sir. Very nice indeed.

You couldn’t have planned this better! The rugged shadows are a very nice touch.

Great capture - timing is everything

Thanks for sharing. Always appreciated.
