I'm such a sucker for balloons in flight. Very Nice.

Great shot, Tai. I didn't read where it was taken first and presumed it was somewhere in middle east, baloons over a moque...LOL.

I like this one a lot.

Terrific image Tai. I would be probably tempted to crop a tad off the bottom blackness as IMO it doesn't really enhance the overall image. In fact that truck in the leftside foreground distracts a little from the beauty of the image.

I'd be tempted to almost go for a square crop on this to take out the trees and truck.

Well spotted Thai! :)

Excellent work. A tighter crop would work better for me.

Gee I really like this, unusual combination of subjects, the architecture of the silohette with the floating balloons adding interest to the image...

I'd be tempted to crop the trees off on the left hand side to keep the silohette as just the architectural influence (would remove the left hot spot from the sky too), and maybe a smidge off the bottom to take some weight away from the silohette...

Very catching image, well done...

cropped as suggested. works alot better without the trees.

Nice image Genji.
I was looking out the window at work, about 10 minutes ago watching three baloons hovering directly over the MCG - and wishing I'd bought my camera into work today :cry:

I guess that'll teach me....

I also like the interest between the sky and the sillhouetted REB. Great exposure !
