Fran - I love the shot of the inside of the balloon. The thing that really sets it off for me are the shadows of the people walking by outside, and the flame that is casting those shadows rocks. I love the total composition.

Thanks Wes, but the inside shot on this page is not mine. I've got a similar shot on the original thread with one person's shadow. I really like number three as well. Very nice.

What lens was #7 shot with? It almost looks like a Tilt-Shift...

It's impossible to choose the best one...

DOH!!! I could've swore it was yours because I saw you poking your camera inside a balloon while it was inflating on it's side.

Michael - that shot is amazing.

Wow! They're all great! It was a very tough decision which to vote for. I have to admit, that clown is going to give me nightmares, though.

All are very good, and all 7 have better photos than me! However, two particularly captivated me: #2 was very interesting, and very original. Still, voted #1...a classic., with very nice color and no obvious flaws. All seven took better pictures than me!
