Whoa There!

One of the interesting things that I did not know is that the extra weight that

most balloonists use during inflation is people hanging on the outside of the

basket.

I prefer some of the other shots in your folder to this one because of the business of the people on the ground and the lack of saturation of the sky.

The leaning of the foreground balloon is great. Good effort!

This really does convey a sense of urgency, uncertainty, something about to happen but maybe not well.

On first view I felt the foreground was chopped off prematurely (and perhaps it was, in the taking), but now I see the bottom border acting much like a fence, and I'm on my toes peering over it to get a glimpse of all the hullabaloons.
