Thank you, Rasmith. I tried to leave the atmosphere of the evening, not too bright, but I think you’re right. A little extra light would not be bad. About the twist, I gave credit to the camera with its own bubble level and I used tripod .

You’re right Seaview , is just another boat.
Like Seaview-er, I love nature, the beautiful shores of Ireland and jump from one place to another, to see more, to know more. Thinking is free …

Technically, it is a great photo. But look too static and that because the balloon has little room to fly. Usually framing a flying object needs a space where it will evolve. In this way we perceive the sensation of movement.

No, I din`t used any filter .But, I blended two different exposures. I used a Sigma 150mm macro lens.

The original frame it`s portrait and I croped it very little from top and bottom. I spent about tow hours there trying to find the best angle and light. But as you know, it’s hard to have all the necessary elements of a perfect achievement. Thanks for comments !

You are right about the cloning filling ! For the plants from left bank I did a copy/paste and erase. I wanted to dark a litle this side and I made a second copy from RAW file, but the straighten was not like for first copy.
Thank you !

I used a filter by 760nm. I didn`t sharpen it, but was a long exposure-30 sec. and from here it`s coming the blur.
