Thank you all for your kind comments. Paul, the shot was taken from the outside when the balloon was still laying on the ground but already filled with hot air.

Love the color and the geometry of this! A perfect choice for the topic, both fabric and texture! ~Sharon

Wonderful color and composition Gerald!

I find this interestingly disorienting. I can't tell if that is the inside looking up or the outside of the balloon possibly laying on the ground.

Compositional perfection! Well done.

imo, this is a perfect example of an image w texture that includes an interesting compositon and also has beautiful color and great clarity! i agree w olaf that a texture must include other elements in order to draw the eye. a texture straight out of the box is rarely interesting and therein lies the challenge of finding a texture that includes other elements that will capture the viewer's attention! not an easy task! shu
