Just add a bit of shortcake sky and you've got it made.

Oh, this is magnificent. What an advantage for a fabulous shot. You could not have had a better balloon for the shot, a strawberry.
I love it! Now I really want to go in a balloon.

You mean you went up in a balloon and took this image! Wow!!! I admire your courage.
The red of the balloon and the light on it are perfect with the cool background.
Am glad you are enjoying Topaz Adjust. My trial ended and I'm trying to get key for the new Topaz Detail.

@Anita: Yes, I went up in a balloon and took this image. The ride was exhilarating, you do not have a feeling of "height", just peace and floating on a cloud! We were up one mile and didn't believe the pilot when he told us that! I purchased a key for Topaz Adjust yesterday. Couldn't decide on that or Detail, and decided on Adjust for now. Love it! Thank you so much for the tip.
