Love the Texas sky during sunrise and sunset light/colors. Woke up early to find a shot at a near by balloon festival. Comments welcomed. Canon 5d Mark3 and 70-200mm 2.8/f

Very nice shot! I especially like that you managed to captured the flames perfectly and how it's illuminating the crew.

This might be controversial and is clearly a personal choice, but I might entertain the idea of cloning out the anchor ropes to increase the dynamics.

This makes me a little home sick actually.
Back in my home town up in NY we had annual balloon rallies.
When I bought my first house it was during the rally and we awoke our first morning in the house to the sounds and sights of numerous balloons flying over and some landing right outside our window.

I like the idea of cloning out the ropes and level the balloon up, other than that its a great shot.

Nice image, the fascination to me is the warp/aspect of the balloon versus basket and lack of vertical symmetry - from a side-wind I suppose?

@Dave - I have a copy were I started the process of removing the ropes, as soon as I am done I will put that one up here. It is a beautiful site to see in the right environment. I lived in Amarillo, TX for a time and they would have the balloon shows in Palo Duro Canyon which were a site to see in the sunrise and sunset. Thank You for you comments Dave.

@cigargreg - Thank You

@BobJarman - Yes, the balloon was being blown side to side from a small wind and I had taken several shots because of this. This one was the best one. Thank You for your comments.

+1 to much of what has been said, i.e. flame capture, etc.

I think with the tethering lines on it, the wind tilt and straight basket kinda make sense. If you remove the lines ... it might not make as much sense for the basket to be squared up vs. the tilt. Just something to watch for if you do clone out the tethering lines.
