Selective desaturation? Used to very good effect - the balloon is doubly striking for being the only bit of color present.

I like the use of desaturation here - the balloon stands out well against the gray sky. Very well executed.

Would have liked to seen the balloon further off centre also, I think the yellow of the balloon would have contrasted well had the sky been left blue.

I like your selective color here. It sure makes that balloon seem special!

Cool..simple, meets the challenge, and nice shot. Would be interesting to try different color backdrops on the sky with the yellow balloon.

Nice. Very creative. I like the fact that the only color is in the balloon. Excellent position in the frame. 9 from me. ;-)

interesting use of the single color to accent the area around it.

Great idea. I love the choice of yellow as the only color.

Very neat shot. Sky is a little to washed out for my taste.

Interesting idea, however the composition is ruin by the offset balloon. Try holding up a piece of paper to the left of the balloon to see if it is improved by having the balloon in the middle of the image? =)

Beautiful, selective desaturation really works here. The baloon is a bit too centered but it is a very nice picture nonetheless

great subject. Might be better if it was less centered.
