Bow Tie

I like the dof between the purple balloon and the other balloons. It looks weird to me though as if it is wet. imo the bowtie part could be a little more in focus.

I like the clarity and the texture you can see on the surface. I like the red, but I feel that the green in the balloon could have been adjusted to compliment it more and brighten it up a bit.

This was a nice unique idea. I think execution could have been better. There is an overall color cast that makes this look too pink. Also, if you pull the subjects away from the wall a bit you can help get less shadows and also have the wall look more like a back drop and less like a wall. After that I would say brighten it up a bit and maybe even see how you like it with a black and white conversion.

While this is a unique idea in the "popped balloon" category, the substance on the right side really didn't get stopped in action. It may have been better for me if most of it was more powdery like on the left.

I like the color and the light of this but the processing makes it look too much like art and not a photo to me.

imho this doesn't really meet the challenge. I also feel like its a little on the soft side.
