Hot Air Balloon 1 - mountain and clouds revised
I was able to move the balloon up and over a bit and I do think the position is better. I had actually intended to use just the sky with this one but then I thought that looked pretty busy somehow and very much like several others that do have a cloudy sky, actual or replaced, and I liked the way the mountains anchored the image, so I tried it. My choice on this one is really between the one with sky/mountains or the one with just solid blue and it seems as if you prefer the interest of the clouds. If I hadn't cropped the sky drop in early on, I might have been able to make it bigger and then drop it down so the mountains were a narrower band across the bottom, but that's not working now. Thanks for the comments. I'll make all these public and put them in an album so you can see them. There will also be a number that you have not seen before.
