maybe a winner....great

What a cool idea! The heat from the bulb provides the lift! Great image, very fun. I'd love to see the sky full of these!

Oh thanks!!! and Mossy great idea, I might mess around with putting some smaller ones in the background when I have some time

Perfect!...

That would be cool, but I meant I'd love to see the "Real World" sky full of these!
If you add more to your image, just don't "cookie cutter" use the same one, okay? Better to leave it be than detract with clones...

Wonderful work! This just yelled "fav fav" to me!

very steam punk... woo hoo... excellent work!

Stunning work

absolutely awesomme ...

Very fun and creative steampunk approach to this contest.

I don't get the mixture of taut cables (clearly supporting the gondola hanging from the balloons) and flaccid cables between the balloons and the gondola. And the small balloon's connection point to the gondola is very odd.

The horizon line of the balloon bottoms is down (albeit different horizon lines for each balloon) while that of the gondola is up.

Notwithstanding the title on source 4, I find the ship more wreck than steampunk.

Great looking image. My only observation is the light on the building is from the left, and the light on the clouds from the right. Might want to flip it. GL author.

This is very elegant looking.
I agree with CMYK about the clouds. Great colors, though!

Thanks guys! Done! Don't know how I could have missed that, doh!

LOL...still looks great!

Very nicely done! I love the transition from the cool foreground to the warm sky!
