Peace rally. interesting place to find the yellow, much more interesting than the studio shots. I like the contrast with the red mohawk.

Hi David :)

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Cool perspective, out of focus

COMPOSITION:
I like the setup of this shot. You really did capture an interesting perspective. I like how all sides lead to the light right in the middle. This shows how a shot can work even if centered, IMO. :)

TECHNICAL:
This is where I think you lost most of the votes. The lightingis tricky to get right cause your foreground is fairly dark, but the background if very bright. I'm not sure how you'd shoot this to get the right exposure all around...maybe with a flash to compensate for the dark inside. Also the focus is very soft, I think sharp focus would have helped you alot. :(

ARTISTIC:
I think the shot is quite interesting even if technically weak. Sure meets the challenge :)

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges.

not in focus and the hair detracts from the ballon.

Very yellow balloon! (And red hair too!) Balloon seems to have moved on you, it's a little fuzzy (a faster exposure might help). Brrr, looks like it's cold out. 5 Swash

First of all - cut the red head clear out of this shot. He takes all the attention from the yellow ballon. But really I would have preferred to see it in another challenge and him the subject. Would have laughed myself sick at that one. Back to this challenge. There need to be focus somewhere in the photo. It has too much going on in it. I would have cropped out everything but the ballon. Really would have taken it somewhere else with less background. Can't get over the dude in the red-hair. Really think you meant this to be a funny photo and it is. Thanks for the laughs.

Cute idea with an anarchist and a balloon, but it doesn't look like he is the one holding the balloon. Take the shot from a better angle to tie the two together. Also, DOF is lacking.
