Like the postprocessing of the sky in this one. Beautiful contrast of the balloons to the sky and the green lawn.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until they've all taken off. The sky is really good.

Cool shot. Would have liked it more if you extracted details from the clouds during PP. 7

Lovely sky, looks like the dodge and burn went to excess round the ballons, shame as it's really good apart from that

this is really interesting. I love the contrast between the sky and the hot air balloons. I like how you didnt center any 1 balloon, makes a more interesting composition

I'm curious if you got a comment from the bag head saying that this is too much processing...

I like it - it's wildly dramatic.
