Needs more interesting lighting. Photo looks too flat.

The centre of focus appears to be the rear black balloon, making the central balloon look soft.

There's very little to draw the eye or create interest.

I personally don't care for this in B/W ... one of the reasons I love balloons is the bright colors ...

DOF could be greater, has a very snapshot feel to it.

I think you have a nice concept to show shapes, but the exposure and lightin on this image need some work. First, the white balloons are more grey than white - bracketing the exposure of this photo might really help. In addition you may be able to adjust the levels on the histogram to bring out the whites and the blacks more clearly. Second, the focus seems a little soft. For a macro type image like this - sharp focus on a specific area is really needed.
