Very nice pics here. I like #3 the most. Great use of negative space.

Must have been fun to do! They are all good with nice composition and depth-of-field. I especially like the one with the multiple balloons. The color just makes them pop against the gray clouds...

I like #3 the best (although they all have good qualities). As someone above said, great use of negative space in #3. Looks like it was fun (and that's the point isnt' it?!?).

The first is a little static. The second seems to suffer from either camera shake or excessive cropping. The cloud in the third anchors the image nicely and as have been said before the negative space gives it a nice sense of freedom. The third one also has a slight warm glow that adds to the tranquil mood of the setting.

Thank you. Any suggestions for improvement on #'s 1 and 2?

Very nice shots! I like the first one but wonder if it would be stronger as a verticle panorama since the balloons are concentrated in the center...?

I'd probably like the second one best if it were a bit sharper. I really like the comp and the patriotic pattern.

The third one is terrific. Great colors and very, very sharp and is probably the best of the three because of that.

I really like them all. You did a nice job.

Edit: Hope you don't mind. This is what I was getting at for #1. I also did a slight levels adjustment.

Thanks, Jen. I think you're right about the crop for the first one.
I sharpened the 2nd as much as I dared - it's a tight crop from a much larger pic. I'd have liked to zoom closer, but I was as close as I could get. :(

Thanks again,
Sara

last 1 is best but it still seems like it is missing something....

i would keep 1 clean copy and i would mess with 1 copy in PS untill u come up with something alittle more catching or poping it just doesn't hold me like that type of a shot should
