For the voters that thought this was a generated photo inside. the set up was on the back decking outside with the balloon fixed to a fishing line. used f32 so as to have a good depth of feild to be able to focus the clouds, a flash was used to fill the forground as the sun was the other side of the ballon.

I like the balloon since we usually see yellow smileys so the red is a cool change. The sky looks more like a picture of sky instead of an actual sky, and its too blurry imo. It also looks like you burned in some spots on the clouds and got some of that burning on the balloon. This would have done better for me if it were outside with a nice sky (maybe weather didn't permit??)

Cute. Seems like two objects put together for this. ??? Maybe the balloon is shot in from of a monitor displaying a sky bg? The bg is a little noisy and the whites somewhat hot.

There's something about the processing that I don't like on this one. Maybe it's the black fringes around the clouds: aren't they supposed to have a sliver lining?
