I see you were busy taking pictures instead of talking about taking
pictures:) The bridge came out very well, I like all of them, my
favourite is the second one (bridge and bench).

The balloon was blocking the setting sun, and as it started to rise
into the air, I noticed that the sun was going to pop out from
behind the balloon, and I tried to get a backlit shot and then one
with as much of the sun as I could include, without blowing everything
out

Thanks, Jack - only #3 was a heavy crop - the image as presented is
about 40% of the original. The other two are about 80% of the original.
In the first shot the bird is in the top 1/2 to 1/3 of the frame and
cropping to the almost square format took a lot out of the frame.
