 Saw these pretty balloons and started taking photos of them straight on. Then, I thought about taking them more from an ants eye view. I kept the focus the white balloon at the top because the string leads you in that direction. I love the colors that this photo produced.

Looks out of focus. Not a bad idea though.

I can't really tell where the focus is. Right now it looks like its focused on the white balloon, but I would say the ribbon is more of a key point. Try a smaller aperature next time to get keep the ribbon crisp.

Nice and colorful, though I don't like the corner of the house that is visible. The biggest impact this entry has had on me, however, is I now have Shania Twain's "Party For Two" stuck in my head. (Fortunately, I like that song.)

Like the diagonal line created with the balloon strings, and the shallow dof you used. Lighting seems just a bit harsh.

I think this would have worked better if you had used a wider depth of field. I do like it, and the colors make a good contrast.

Not in focus.

This photograph has a lot of colors but it would be nicer if the strings were in focus instead the bottom of the white balloon. Also if there was a fourth balloon to cover up the bring blue in the background that is somewhat distracting.

A very ice image.

It is alittle distracting when the first thing i look at (the middle) is entirely blurry. i think youer focus should have been in a better place it looks like its on the white balloon but there is no detail so i cant really tell. Nice pastel spring-ish colors though.

Flat colors in a photo that should have great pastel colors
