Doesn't do much for me. Nothing very interesting here.

Comment by Zed Pobre:
The massive saturation of red into all elements of this shot hurts it significantly, and it doesn't help that the odd color and sudden drop in intensity draw the eyes somewhat to the trees, which seem out of focus. This is probably from focusing on the lights, and then using too low an aperture. If this was tripod-based and there was no wind, you might have tried shooting at f/11 or even f/22 to see if you could get the entire scene. I think you were going for drama with all the red, but it doesn't really work for me.

Not sure if you wanted the string so hard to see or not but I think I would like it more if you could see it better. Maybe also bring the colors out a bit more. Good idea though.

Hah, I love this idea! The tilt on the balloon gives it a 'flying away' feeling

This could benefit if the colors were more vivid. Maybe you could do it with a Hue/Sat and brightness/contrast change in PS, if you have it

I like the faint line from the string. Maybe it is just my monitor, but the colors look flat. 5
