To the Moon - a lesson in composition

I went the the Reno Balloon Races this weekend to take some photos.  There were about a zillion cameras at the balloon races and I wanted to try and get a shot that was at least a little different from everyone elses.  The moon was still out on Friday morning when the balloons were heading up up and away, so I decided to keep my eye on the moon.  As soon as a couple of balloons lined up with it I took this shot.

Odd numbers make for good composition. Your eye tends to move around a composition made up of odd numbers... whereas your eye will jump back and forth between even numbers. I really liked the compostion of the two balloons and the moon (3 elements). That blue Nevada sky makes a perfect backdrop for this type of shot.

Camera specs in a nutshell; Canon 1D Mark III with EF70-200mm lens at 200mm, f/11 @ 1/500, ISO 800

Keep shooting!
