Wow! Zen Master Judy...the calm almost mystical aspects of this photo are truly outstanding! No wonder this masterpiece is your highest rated photo.

Beautiful color against the background but I wish the balloon were a bit sharper.

nice composition - but i notice some digital artifacts in the clouds (color swirls in green and rose colors) that could use fixing

I don't see a lot of wow here. I look at this as something a 6 year old playing with daddy's camera could capture on accident. 5.

This was a very fine portrait. Not sure why it didn't do better. Must have been that most people thought it was too plain or something. That stupid WOW factor is why I have lost a lot of interest in this site. There are many great photographers (like you) who just don't get the interest and attention they should. But there is more to life than dp, so I have discovered. Thanks for hanging in there and occasionally entering a challenge. I will be doing the same disappearing act.
