Love the closed-up body language of the model and the look of utter boredom contrasting with the airy cheeriness of the balloons. 'How much longer do I have to sit here? My butt's getting cold!' :-)

I have to agree that there is just a teeeny bit too much negative space on the right, and the balloons are almost wafting out of frame. But otherwise a great image! Well done on a top 10!

selective sharpening would have avoided haloes around the leaves.

Very lovely shot! Something wonderfully contradictory - the bright cheerful balloons with the not so cheerful mood of the subject and the not so colorful setting. Congrats on another stellar score and another top ten!

nice sun rise shot. I would have been tempted to crop out some of the sand at the bottom as its not too interesting well besides your footprints :) Maybe try getting closer to the tree. When you darken your sky you need to try to get as close to the tree as you can otherwise you get that halo effect, try using a soft brush in photoshop or a mask.
