A lack of colour impact, for me - a white balance thing, perhaps? Fairly chaotic composition - the three overlapping figures add confusion, the cropping of the balloon ... if you'd got down at low level and shot to fame the person holding that rope entirely against the background of the balloon, for instance, you'd have a far stronger image. Including the background only on image left doesn't really seem to add anything to this, especially when cropping out the otop and left of the balloon. 5

It's a very colorful balloon - in a nice composition. I like the human figures providing scale. The white sky a bit detracting. To show a deep Dof, it would be better if something were closer to the lens.

I'd crop out that last bit of sky so that the top of the stadium is touching the top of the image... otherwise, well done.

Pretty cool. You should have tried to get a little closer to the woman hold the main line.

I like the contrast of the primary colors of the balloon against the green field.

I liked this photo - the boneheads who gave it anything below a four just have no taste. Rock on rubyrednails!
