I had the fortunate opportunity to attend the Steamboat Balloon Festival this weekend, and was able to observe the launches from various angles. This shot, intentionally emphasizing the foreground wildflowers, is an example of the juxtapositions you can find at this annual event.

5DM2, 17-40mm, f/5, 1/400, ISO 400, +CPOL, Handheld.

Thank you!

Nicely seen Chris! This gives me a few ideas on what I can get at the Chatfield Balloon festival next month... :biggrin:

Man is that sweet! Love the shallow dof.

Very different use of dof. Gives it a magical affect.

I don't get it. Nothing is in focus. I used to throw those slides in the trash. Should I have kept them? Shouldn't something be in focus?
