Yes-important part of the photo. It was a guy holding his little girl with their dog sitting beside them!

The silhouette absolutely makes this photo! Not only gives a sense of scale, but adds the humanity element.

Location
Annual balloon launch in Erie, ColoradoTime
Early!Lighting
Perfect lighting as balloon opening was opposite rising sun and sun was highlighting outside of rising balloon.Equipment
Canon 5th Mark III with 14 mm wide lens.Inspiration
Colors and lightingEditing
No much - added a little saturation and cleaned up a few blemishes on the balloon.In my camera bag
Depends on where I'm headed. In this case, a 14 mm wide lens, 24-70 zoom, and a 70-200 telephoto.Feedback
Look for the light. Colors are always attention -getting. Look for unique perspectives.
