Sayaka Ikemoto Beautiful backlit image, I love how the shadows were stretching long on the ground, and the balloons lit up like a lantern with sunlight, and that the sun is overlapping with several balloons, as if it is the "beginning" of things, the important part. In other words, nice exposure, nice timing, perfect composition with big space in the sky, and good eye of selection, made me feel as if I was on one of these balloons myself, too.
As the balloons rise towards the sun above the Morrocan desert, the sun peaks behind the gigantic Atlas mountains range, reducing the colorful balloons into beautiful silhouettes
