Original - A hot air balloon in flight shortly after lifting off. Standard design and shape.

Reason: Seems to be good in terms of technical quality and visual appeal. Decent encyclopedic value as well.

Oppose Compositionally I don't feel this picture has what it takes, the camera angle for the subject is probably not ideal. Shot from almost directly below and nothing else in the frame except the balloon and sky isn't visually interesting. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 14:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
