Hi Ricardo,
Waow ! Really cool !!! It's funny how this man doesn't mind about the balloons ! It might be a great experience to have a flight above Egypt !

I can see you are becoming addicted to TE again!! ;D Like you I had my first taste of ballooning this year, in the Serengeti, and it is an unforgetable experience. The shadows of the two balloons one on top of the other makes a unique composition. The timing was good so the man isn't under the shadow. Well done

A imensidão da paisagem enfatiza o título. Gosto das sombras dos balões, o "sr" parece tão pequeno e indefeso. Muito bem visto.

Hi Ricardo.

Thanks for sharing.

Olá Ricardo,
Viagens de balão é mesmo a moda do momento odemos vê-los por quase todos os destinos turisticos mais afamados e neste não poderia ser diferente.
Deve ser mesmo uma experiência fantástica sobrevoar este local mitico e poder apreciar detalhes que do chão nos passam ao lado.
Quanto à foto em si tem bastantes aspectos interessantes como as sombras enormes dos balões no chão, até em comparação com a "pequenez" daquelas construções, a luz rasante da manhã que cria uma atmosfera não tão abrasiva como em algumas fots que já mostraste, e claro este homem que segue a sua caminhada indiferente aos monstros que o sobrevoam, por este caminho sinuoso.
Que tal os balões, seguros ou apanhaste algum susto?
Paulo

i like it. the vastness of the desert interrupted by your baloons' shadows and the lone walker. nice indeed. not so sure about the frame though. the scene is almost begging for a vertical crop. hmm :)

warm regards,
kristaps

Olá Ricardo,
buen punto de vista desde el globo. La vista aérea sobre este paisaje desértico y tan llano da un gran resultado gráfico gracias a las sombras de los dos globos. Los postes que salpican el lugar, y el hombre solitario caminando por el sendero añaden un toque muy interesante, es una composición muy bien estructurada.
Buen trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Bravo, Ricardo. This photo is wonderful and perfect. Oh,if I like it! Difficult to explain. But,..I try. The big shadow of the ballon can be the divine shadow. Impending. A the man, just one man, in his solitude, is so...oh, SO representative. (And if they are two the thing is the same). The symbol of our umanity. Well done, Ricardo,

I think the main subject is the shadows here, and with the walking man they make for a nice oompo in this early morning light giving already warm colors.... I like the texture of the FG ravine....

This year, we had the opportunity to go in a hot-air balloon(in Myanmar) but we had somehow to book in advance and so we did not do it!
Here the big shadows are really eye-catching and well positioned, allowing to see a lonely walking man and also houses in the distance.
Abraço

Ricardo,
Acho que tem que ter olho de arquiteto para conseguir "captar" essa imagem na sombra. Beleza de resultado.

Balloon rides seem to have spread to a lot of famous tourist spots around the world. Fine photo with the shadows of the two balloons amidst desolation of the desert. The man is very well placed just beyond the shadow. Good work my friend!
Best Regards

PS : I thought you were supposed to go to Alentejo...are you posting from there?

Hi Ricardo. Wonderful capture. The early morning light has added a warm colouring to the scene and the shadow adds its presence also. Nicely captured and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hi Ricardo,
A splendid advertising photo image for a hot-air ballon.
What I like is the man doesn't look at any ballon and keep on walking...

Eu também já pensei em praticar este "desporto extremo" mas até ao momento acho que é muito caro (!!!) para a hora a que saiem!!! Mas, certamente que irei experimentar.
Pelo tamanho da sombra, dá mesmo a ideia de que estavam muito baixos. Mas isso permitiu captares muitos pormenores do terreno abaixo de ti. Aquela pessoa mesmo ao lado do poste está excelente e dá ideia da imensidão do lugar.
Tecnicamente, tens uma auréola nitidamente visível à volta do balão. Como a evitar? Pois ainda não sei. Aceito sugestões!!!!!

Olá Ricardo,
Tenho forçamente que apreciar estas três fotos dos balões ao mesmo tempo, pois não as tinha visto antes.
São todas espectaculares, mas se tiver que escolher uma, esta é a minha preferida.
Gosto de pensar que poderia imaginar o que está na origem desta foto, mesmo sem ler a nota. As outras são mais óbvias.

Hola Ricardo.
Excellent shot captured from the balloon, the view of the shadow with the presence of the man in the middle of the desert really produces a superb shot captured from a high POV. Very good colors and sharpness. Looks like you really enjoyed your trip to this wonderful place.
Well done.
Best regards.

Hello Ricardo,

I have never tried but I can imagine a balloon like this is a great platform for photography!
The colour of and somewhat hostile environment of the desert is dominating the frame, decorated by the balloon shadows...
And I don't think the shadows here is caused by the balloon you're in..!

Greetings,

Bonjour Ricardo
Au temps de Nasser, le survol et la photographie aérienne était interdite sur le térritoire Egyptien. Bien des choses eont changé depuis.
Intéressante image avec la lumière qui rase le sable sur l'avant-plan.
Je me demande combien ça coûte une telle promenade en ballon mais je pense que ce n'est pas à la portée des habitants locaux.
Amitiés.
