Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This morning I went on a Hot Air Balloon flight, it was supposed to be a 40th birthday gift for my beloved wife but with one thing and another the booking was made rather late - 6 1/2 years too late  I bit the bullet and made the booking without consulting the wife and gave her a card for xmas with a message saying up, up and away. Now I don't like heights but found the experience very enjoyable and relaxing, the wife on the other hand gets very anxious about things where she is not in control and her mind runs off in all sorts of tangents and scenario's so much so that she upset's herself and the pleasure is quelled. That said she too enjoyed herself once we were airbourne. The balloon we travelled in stood 30 meters high when fully inflated and the basket held 21 people including the pilot. Would I recommend the experience? Absolutely - we were in the air for 1 hour and after a bumpy landing had a very nice champagne breakfast at a winery/vineyard. Here a few shots from the day.

#2 is a clear stand out for me. It's not a view normally seen from an outsider's POV. Only thing missing is a bit of flame action from the burner.

Yeah, #2 is just different enuf to be unique and against the blue sky it's brilliant. You controlled exposure to perfection.

Can I suggest (to whomever) that #2 is definite POTW material. Great shot from a unique perspective.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I do have other compositions of #2 and one or two with the flame visible, but the compo is not as strong and the flame being orange does not show up very well against the orange balloon.

Yep OK - #2 for me as well - although I do also like #3 - nice cloud action and I like the water
