Night shots like this are very difficult to get the lighting right on - not to mention getting a sharp focus. To me, the colors of the main two balloons are a bit muddied and yellowish. It really isn't until you get to the Scandia balloon that you get some vivid colors. I bet this was an amazing sight in person.

That is some cool glow effects happening.

Seems like the long exposure may have taken away sharpness.

Wonderful colours and a pretty good night shot although it looks a little out of focus.

This would have been a really nice shot if it had been in focus.

A bit over exposed, which can be so difficult with night photography. I would like to see this myself someday.

Beautiful. Wonderful colours and interesting, almost-silhouetted figures.
