Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

I love the placement of the balloon in the frame, really draws the viewer to the great colours and lines. I may have been tempted to have the balloon completely filling the frame in the top right hand corner but other than that the lines from the bottom lead you right up to the tip of the balloon, I think this is spot on!

Technicals:

The light is nice in this shot, your exposure is great but I do agree with one of your commenters, this could possibly do with a little sharpening.

I am not sure that I can really do a lot of 'critiquing' here as I feel the shot is technically good and composition is very nice.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Excellent representation of the challenge! Super colors, too. I gave it a 9, only because it could be just a hint sharper.
