Interesting shot. Since the balloons are your main subject, I would have lightened the bottom part of the picture a tad--seems a little dark... Certainly haven't seen them before!

If I don't understand it, it must be art. Composition does not really seem to be there on this. The subject is stuffed in the lower right corner, but my eye is drawn to the bright area at the top. This looks like it is in a mall, where you probably could have obtained a different perspective on them.

Weird ballons. The photo is dark. I would brighten it up. The comp doesn't do anything special for me.

Could use a different angle so to take advantage of a more dramatic leading lines

I think I would have cropped the top down a bit. The spot of blue sky doesn't add to the shot.

This is interesting for this challenge topic, but I'm not sure how well it would do as a standalone image.

I want more detail in the shadows (or less) and perhaps cropping out the distracting blue sky would help the other parts of the image stand out more. It's so much more vivid and bright than anything else in the image. (not voting)

your lighting is very dark, but your subject is good

maybe you could frame the baloons closer, considering that they are your subject...
I think you should have avoided the head on the bottom...

wish this were brighter, straighter and less green looking (obviously in the areas without the red balloons)

underexposed. the details are lost in the dark areas of the decks.

comment only.

hmmm, do those 'balloons' actually float? This doesn't do much for me as a never before seen image on dpc. It looks like a complex image to light correctly and doesn't WOW me.
