I really liked this balloon against the blue sky. Luckily, on this evening, there was very little humidity and a clear blue sky!

Blue against blue makes a powerful and interesting statement. Very nice, Betty.

I have to agree with Michael. The blue tones create a really strong image. Thanks for sharing.

I agree also, the blue on blue, and the angle of the balloon itself just bring this photo to a real high level (excuse the pun) of visual interest and beauty.

Wow, blue againsst blue. Very beautiful Betty. Love the brightness of this shot. Would make a good picture to advertise the exhibit.

@Marion: Thanks, Marion. They do have a "pictures taken at the Fair contest"... I should enter it. They used a picture I took last year for advertising this year (but of the grounds, not the balloons).

I haven't read the comments above and I'm sure someone has already said this -- It's the combination of colors and light that make this photo.
