Seems to be lacking some contrast

Perhaps a longer exposure, and not sharpen so much.

I like this not-classic balloon view - the energy of the people involved is fun to see.

An interesting place to photograph. The bright white light thogh draws a lot of attention, an also highlights that most of the light is on the other side of the balloon. Hence it gives a bit of a feel that I am missing something here, that the balloon is covering up the actions from me. I do like the positioning of the basket on the right, and the crop of the balloon, which does help balance the image.

I like the storybook feel to this. Just funny to me to think that someone is walking down an alley with a candlestick :)

Funny, he looks like a nice man...but then the knife?, candle, title and stare suggest otherwise. regardless, I like the "non" focus, it adds to the composition which is the point of the challenge.

Strikes me more like Indiana Jones than an alleyway thug.

Quite effective, it reminds me of the Indiana Jones type movies.
