| This is a great fun shot. Party like. I would have loved a bit more contrast, but hey, this remains a cool concept and the work of a very creative individual. Keep up nice work ! |

Greetings from the Critque Club!
Composition:
Your subject choice is excellent. The framing is compelling. Nicely done.
Lighting:
Your photo is underexposed, and that hurt your score. The details are drowned with so little contrast. Perhaps adjusting in editing could've fixed it, but most likely you just needed to let more light hit the sensor.
Techincal:
Your depth of field is a tad high, The background elements could've been softer to keep more attention on your subject. Again it's a little under-exposed. All of this could've been fixed in one simple aperture adjustment.
Post-processing:
Your editing is good. Your desaturation is great. Only complaint is the lack of contrast, just to repeat some fine-tuning in editing could've saved a reshoot.
Overall:
This is a great capture for the challenge. The biggest thing holding you back is the aperture. Using perhaps a f/4.0 would've softened the background as well as let more light in to get the proper exposure.
Excellent submission, congrats on your top10 finish. |

| First of all, this is a truly wonderful photo. I think it would benefit from a little contrast adjustment but it really is a terrific shot. |

| The balloons really stand out against the black and white background. I think the rider could have been a bit lighter to make him stand out as well. |

| Ok - this gets a good score for te humor but next work on getting the bacl and white part of the image better. this is really muddy, needs mor contrast range. |

| Had the same balloon idea but no time to get them -- glad to see someone tired it! Very effective |

| I think I would probably prefer this photo in color. The subject is wonderful, however I find the use of a color highlight to be more distracting to the overall image that I would like. It pulls my eye up to the balloons, but the cyclist is too interesting to be pushed into the b&w background. |
