I personally liked the RGB - didnt make the rule of threes connection. The second image outtake you showed would have scored a bit higher for me, because it really makes me think about the emptiness after a party. the three empty baloons feels quickly put together, but the outtake tells more of a story. *edit: now thinking about the air forced out of the otherwise full (of air) baloons... They are in a sense, empty either way.*

Thats how i feel about it anyways, take it with a grain of kosher salt

hahah, hilarious.

I enjoy the shot a lot. For me a few things that are troublesome is the yellow hue of the shadow, I may have done a selective desaturation of the shadows that fall beside each balloon, it is subtle but may have made the colours pop a little more, The way the three circles line up in the shot (the openings of the balloons) are excellent, except it's a little to the right, if it was a little more centred it may have looked a lot more precise and intentional but that's being super nitpick.
in PP i would've brought the mid tones down a touch and raised the blacks slightly to give it a little more depth, it feels a little bit flat as an image. I think the rectangular cropping however is successful. I feel it scored accordingly, it's a simple shot and it's almost at being elegantly simple and it's also funny, the title is a #%@$ you to the voters haha.

I gave this a 6, putting you in my top 11.2%; I had 14 people with a vote of 6 or higher.
Knowing that, I thought it was a decent idea and executed fairly well.

Still laughing here... I happened to come across this one just when the significant other decided to peek over my shoulder.

Not a bad image, but not exactly earth shattering either.

The very best of luck to you in the challenge.

I Like this interpretation. Almost abstract, but cooler :)
