Fun idea. I like the blurr of other baloons in the background. Wish the yellow one and the fingers were more in focus.

Nicely captured moment in time! Colours and shapes visually appealing.

Great thought and good picture. My only thought is that I don't like the circle of light by the pin. If you would have tried to do this in natural light on your tripod I think it would have looked better. All in all though a very good depiction of the challenge and I'm sure it was hard to get that pin in the balloon before it actually did break. LOL --another good photo --a picture of the person holding the pin when the balloon did break.

Good Idea! I like the colors and your take on the challenge. Good DOF. Maybe just a bit more of the hand for a more balanced feel to the shot. 7

Not sure I ever heard that one (to my face at least), but it's a pretty good and literal interpretation. I would have lgked to see the black crayon somehow more contrasted against the background. The dark shadows in the box obscure part of the tip outline.

Very well done...nice concept. Really don't like the border...but that's personal taste.

Comment by Simplicity:
terrific photo! I like how the black crayon stands out so much clearer and sharper than the rest, the DOF is great!

Great photo. I might have tried a looser crop, but I'm not sure how that would have looked. Good literalism.
