Oh My..... I enjoy most monochrome pictures (and you know how much I love all of your pictures)---but after seeing these in COLORS (on one of your previous posts), I prefer the colored one... (Just my Humble Opinion... ha ha )
I like the detail and symmetry of the second shot. It is a handsome monochrome shot showing the softness of the silk and a flame that looks awfully close!
I had no idea you had two sites! I like your pics because it gives a glimpse into a place that I'll probably never see. They are very good also. thanks
Oh my word I'm glad you posted all they are gorgeous. It is amazing how dramatic they are in b&w even the fire for the hot air.. We had a rainy day on Friday and into the wee hours of today. Now it is partly sunny and warm. They say more rain likely tonight. The kids have gone to visit his family for the day. Happy Weekend Madi and Mom
The second shot gives us a greater sense of the still and quiet as the balloon rises and a much grander voice to the line of fire helping the balloon to ascend. Removing the colour gives more of an idea of the absolute power involved. Good thought.
I have been catching up with your posts as I've been busy working and entertaining. I like the coloured balloons best but thats just me, I prefer colour. Love your header. Spring is bursting out. The stamens are so big!
I totally relate to the difficulty in making up one's mind about which photo to post. Isn't it wonderful how monochrome brings out the patterns of things?! wonderful photos!

Grew up in a small Georgia town with a desire to see some of the places I had read about and many I had not. I moved to Alaska and lived there for about ten years. My jobs took me to many parts of the state including Barrow, Nome, Kodiak Island and many more. I have also lived in California, Oregon and now Washington state.
Let this be the story of the journey so far.

I like the second one most, but that's probably just because you can see the whole baloonwagon (or what it's called) =)
Amazing photos! Well done.
I love your header! The fire in the balloon is in a spiral!! Is that what I'm seeing?
They're both excellent. I'm glad you chose both. Ilove the way the fire going up into the balloon looks in monochrome.
Great perspective on the hot air balloon. I've never ridden in one but have always wanted to.
Looks like a spiral flame.
Looks like a thrill ride, nice photos ;)

I think I just smelt the beautiful flower in the header. Excellent.
I love the blossoms in your new header...!
Very cool! I am with TRO here, I love the blossoms so much. Both B&W are good, a little different.
Love the crisp details. We have hot air balloon jubilees here and they are awesome.
Your photos are amazing!I found your blog on Friday Follow! Have a wonderful week-end!
Love these! Especially the first one, it is very calming.
I really like the second one best. Look at how that smoke/flame is spiraling up. That's an awesome shot!
It's good you chose both of these- just fabulous- what a view and really neat in mono..love that smoke captured!!
They are both really good, but I like he second one...seeing the fire spiral like that is pretty neat.
this looks fun. i love the centre.. the fire i mean
In color or in b/w .. this is amazing photography..

They are huge, they are beautiful.
Amazing! Love your photos!
That looks exciting!
PS I'll settled for the second one - it has the whole curve or bag or whatever it is called.
They are both great photos - it would be hard to choose. A
I can understand that it was hard to decide! Good choice to choose both! :)
Great shots!
These photos are just fantastic, and beautiful in monochrome..What a great way to enjoy seeing the world!
I am very happy you posted both of them. They are really fantastic shots, Judy.
I would love to be up there looking down, it must be a big thrill.
Ohh I like them both, but the second one was maybe the best :-) but you never ever should have me up in something like that, he he
I am glad you chose to post both, they are wonderful. I think I like the second one a tad more than the first but it is hard to decide.
Splendid shots SquirrelQueen :)
Great monochrome shots! I would have loved a far away view though....
Good luck in the contest too!
Both are great, but I like the second most! I wuld lve to fly in one of those!!

What I forgot to mention is that the balloon bulges so spectacularly out of the frame!
I am very happy you posted both of them. They are really fantastic shots

Gorgeous photos in monochrome, Judy! Fantastic shots

The kids have gone to visit his family for the day.

Oh WOW. I absolutely love these!
Both are outstanding shots but the second one is a bit better IMHO because you've given some space at the bottom underneath the basket.
I like them both, maybe the second one just a bit more because the person is looking at you.
Also like your new header photo. =)
My fave is the second one. I like how you captured the flame going up into the balloon.
UP,Up and away in an amazing shot! I really like the way the fire looks.
This is wonderful shot and great in s/h! I wanna try
I have been catching up with your posts as I've been busy working and entertaining. I like the coloured balloons best but thats just me, I prefer colour. Love your header. Spring is bursting out. The stamens are so big!
i can't decide which one i like either....love all your photos though...great blog...thanks for stopping by!
You usually see balloons as colourful things, so it's great to see them in monochrome. Very unusual.
Beautiful photos
beautiful mono...wish to try that one!a great week to you!
Judy is that you in the gondola?
nutMeg.
Cool.....
Absolutely lovely photos. I like the lighting just a bit better on the second, but I'd hate to choose between them. What an experience!
I totally relate to the difficulty in making up one's mind about which photo to post.
Isn't it wonderful how monochrome brings out the patterns of things?!
wonderful photos!
