Thank you for the votes! I am honored to have my photo chosen as the top photo in the contest. My name is Karen Seniuk and live in California. This photo was taken just after sunrise at the Great Balloon Race in Reno, NV in Sept. 2012. As the balloon was being inflated, I noticed the silhouettes of 3 people adjusting the fabric seams and immediately took a few shots and within seconds the silhouettes were gone. I used a Nikon P7100, f4.5, 1/250, ISO 100. Minor adjustments in PSE, no cropping.
