Congratulations on the purple ribbon (or is it green?) With a score like this one you should be on the front page! And it was Ottawa!!!

Never got round to finishing voting, let alone commenting, but this was my personal favourite of those i saw: still quite surprised it didn't finish higher, and for the life of me couldn't see why it didn't. Excellent work Yanick.

What a fun photo to look at! love the colors - good job:)

The sheer number of balloons, at varying sizes and colours make a wonderful postcard! The cumuli with their equally random arrangement add further viewing pleasure. The rich colours, apparently taken through a polarizer, stand out perfectly against the hue of the sky.

Good (or lucky) composition, technically apt for the purpose, this is a very l i g h t capture, but a very successful one. Fun, fun, fun.

Good colors. I like the varying depths of the balloons in the sky. Nice work.

10/10 Good luck -- hope to see this with a ribbon tomorrow.

This is truly awsome

Owwwwwwwwww, a dream subject. Balloons are so cool, all the different colors, patterns in the sky, strange funny shapes. Another interesting subject when it comes to this is kite-surfing. Especially when large groups of them crowd a small bit of the lake or sea.

Nice shot. I like it how the scene seems to grow from small to big. Fluffy clouds make for a good sky. Great colors.

Wow. Definitely repetition and definitely a stunning shot. Absolutely wonderful capture and the blue sky and puffy clouds really hellp. Oh, ok, so I'm jealous because when I went to a hotair balloon festival it was gray and drab all day. One of my top favorites here, anyhow.

Would make a good postcard. Great composition. Beautiful colors. Good depth of field. Nice shadows in the folds of the balloons.

I could be wrong (And lets face it I normally am) but I think you may have a winner here. Vivid colours, beautiful sky and a great scene. Just fantastic.

Beautiful! I've been hoping to get a shot like this, but our weather has been so miserable this summer that any area balloon launches have been rained out. Great colors!

Taken in Ottawa? Nice shot!
09/01/2003 11:01:22 AM
