This is a job for... Indestructable-Mylar-Baloon

Ok, I dig how you exposed the room, even with the blown window... works for this shot...

I have some problems with the balloon though...

Low saturation is one thing... for good juxtaposing, I would have pushed the blue up a fair bit...

I'm having troubles with the graininess of it though as well as the fact that it looks a bit soft... with 0.3s shutter time and your comment on 'wind', I'm going to hazard a guess that it's movement rather than focus...

The biggest issue I have is the composition... I just plain don't care much for the way that Supe' is lined up... I might have liked him better on the left where he has more contextual interaction with the iron spikes coming down from the ceiling and balances the pic out against that bright hotspot in the window...

Definitely not a bad pic though!

This is unrelated to the actual quality of the picture, but have you tried that lens at f/14 or thereabouts... you might find that it's a fair bit sharper... Mine is.

Interesting picture.. It looks like a complement to a story of some sort... I wonder what is going on... That's a good thing...

Regarding the cropping, I think it's definitely a choice...

I feel that if you leave it as is, the curve in the track becomes a major element in the picture...

If you crop it, it becomes a minor element and the streetlamp light takes its place as a major element...

Depends on the context of the picture...

Looks good!

Dude, you should send this in to Canon... It's pretty hilarious and remarkably well done... maybe they could use it... Tell them when they make it, you get the first sample free.. :)

Inverted Pregnant

I would love to see this done with some more geometrical shapes... I think it's very interesting to see the way that the shape of the pregnant body is brought out by the lines of the laser...

A retake might be interesting...

A little more attention, either by cropping, or using the laser, to the head/neck region might have been nice as well as just the tiniest bit more ambient light...

Converting to negative is such an interesting way to look at shadows...

Nicely laid out and nicely lit. Great colors...

I realize that this is the small version, but it seems like it could use just a hair more sharpness and possibly a bit of sponge tool and just the tiniest dodge in the eyes?

Another Take

Nicely improved sky... I'd probably still push that blue a bit and I might have considered doing something with the fronds in the Palm tree... Maybe adding a bit of color... (layer, selective color, eraser)

Definitely improved though...
