Though the balloon appears to be in focus, the people at the bottom are out of focus. It would have been great if there were in focus too. Nice idea.

A very good shot of the balloon, but the crop is way too tight IMO. It traps the balloon into place within the frame and ruins the sense of freedom nd opennness i would normally associate with ballooning. Good job holding detail in the dark fabric.

The balloon is a little too close to the edge of the photo.

I'm sure your hearing a lot of this but I don't like your choice of focus point. I'm sure you were trying to do something to stand out, but there realty isn't anything about the end of the violin thats makes it stand out.

At first I thought the picture was blurry, until I noticed the sharp focus on the end of the violin. After noticing that, I think it was probably done on purpose and I would congratulate you on the DOF. But... for my own personal taste, I just don't agree with the idea. I would be far more interested in seeing the girls eyes in focus (and not covered by the bow) and then allow the violin to move out of focus due to DOF. I give you points for your creative use of DOF. Just not as much as if I agreed more with the application. Hope that makes sense.

I'm usually a fan of shallow DOF, but in this case i would have liked to have seen the violinist's face in focus.

Good lighting, composition, and DOF.

I like the colors, but I think the person shouldn't be so blurry. The top of the violin is a bit of a limiting focal point.
