Sharon - I tried this one earlier this summer and it didn't even get an EP. I think it had something to do with the fact that I had made a "poster" out of this with the wording onto the right hand side of the water which said, "Colorado - The Place to Be This Summer". BP judges typically steer away from things framed and things with lettering. We will see how it fares this time. Thank you for looking. #8011520

Had to have been the lettering because this is an amazing image! Congrats on your EP! :~) You are so lucky to be there every year! #8031101

I hope so, Anthony. This is one of my two favorite balloon pictures that I have gathered over the past several years. #8035082

Yes, Kim - That is the goal - to "touch-down" on the surface of the lake and then get back up in the air. It is amazing to watch. I don't have any really good pics of the touch-down itself but it is fun to see them sit on the surface of the water and then lift up. I might have a photo of what lifting off from the water looks like. It's not a great image but it shows what happens and it's awesome to see. #8037980

I just did a hot air balloon ride and it was nothing like that....lol I would have loved that.....our balloons were very dull in colour as well....where was this taken? #8038002

Although this is a fairly small Balloon Fest, it is noted being interactive and very friendly. Operators let the crowd get close and even let kids stand inside the baskets while they are still tethered. I couldn't find my picture of the lift-off off the water but here are a couple of pretty good "touch-downs". I live in Colorado Springs and this is the only balloon festival I've ever been to but each year there is something new to focus upon! #8038030

I love this shot Debbie, congrats on the EP! #8038062

Aimee C. Eisaman October 14, 2009

Debbie you call those bad shots! I love that one with them at all different levels...the race to the....forgot what it was called, but it's an awesome image! :~) #8038073

Kim Andelkovic October 14, 2009

Debbie these are all totally awesome pics.....I would love to be in one of them.....the baskets are so small. The one with the race to touch down I would just clone out the one just above the main one and enter it cause I reckon its a winner. Beautiful work, colours, POV.....WTG Debbie. #8038090
