Got to go out to Carlyle lake in IL and take some pics of a balloon festival they had. was a lot of fun. I was able to make the glow at night, and the early morning race. here are my results.

#2 is just lovely.
Beautiful colours and atmosphere - the reflections add a nice touch.
Well done - looks like an enjoyable morning.

It was indeed an enjoyable morning! although i think i may have enjoyed the glow at night more, it was fun seing all those balloons glowing right by that pond.
