Hello from the Critique Club,

Not much to critique on this image. The focus, shallow DoF, and B&W conversion are all exceptional. So why didn't this score higher? As the great DrAchoo kindly mentioned on one of my images "Shots of trinkets rarely do well on DPC" and I'm afraid that also applies to toys. You nailed this one technically but the voters were looking for something with a subject that was a magnitude or two larger. But I think you knew that when you submitted this image.

This will probably take the blue. Excellent use of negative space in this photo. Great concept. I saw several other balloon shots in this challenge that didn't come close to this. (10)

I think this photo would do well in super large dimensions. I think it loses something at this size though. Good exposure.
