Hello from the critique club,
I see that this is your first dpc challenge. Welcome! I think this is a very good first entry. Well done. Good luck on many mroet o come.
I like this entry very much. It fits the challenge perfectly. The colors are great. The blue and orange are vibrant without looking overprocessed.
The most striking part of the image is the composition. I love the way the balloons fill the upper corner. The line of the hand and the string draws your eye right up to the balloons. I like the negative space left in the background. It makes the composition not too busy.
I think I would have rotated the image clockwise so that the hand was coming out of the corner of the frame (or close). I think that the lines would have beena little stronger this way. A minor detail. I also would like to see just a little bit more of the arm.
It is hard to tell if this is a studio shot or if it was taken against a bright sky. If the background is meant to be pure white, it would have been helpful to light the other side so that it is evenly white. Many commenters felt that you were blowing out a blue sky here. If that is the case then I agree that it would be nicer to see more blue. A tough exposure, though.
I didn't vote in this challenge, but I would have given this image a 6 for its originality and playfullness and its excellent intpretation and execution of the challenge.
Please fee free to pm me if you have any questions about my comments.
Cheers,
Liza

| Nice idea. Like that it is a child's hand holding the baloons. Nice touch. |

| were you keeping the sky so pale to underline the blue baloons? It looks a bit washed out. I'd also give more hand to underline their position in the air. |

| Glad you included the hand. For some reason, the bottom blue balloon being cut off bothers me a touch. |

| Nicely done and true compliments indeed. the hand placement seems a bit awkward. The back of the hand would have probably been better in this case. 6 |

| The sky is a touch blown out. A polarizer may have helped you here. |

| 4 - Looks like this was taken outside - perhaps incorporating more of the blue of the sky might have given this a little extra. Fairly minor, but not sure the hand is enhancing this image, in my opinion - but depends what you were going for. Like the effect of the balloons OOF, perhaps 'using' that more, depending on what opportunities you had, of course. Just not holding my interest. |
