CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
It is a shame that this scored so low, as it is an excellent picture. I guess I can understand why people may have thought it a stretch for HSH, but knowing how communities take pride in festivals of this sort, I can see it. Here in my town, Folkmoot, and international festival is held every year, and now Waynesville, NC and Folkmoot are almost synonomous. I assumed the same was true of your picture. However, many people seem to have interpreted the topic as a physical dwelling, and shots like yours would have been voted down.
Technically, this is a very well done shot. I really like how you have cropped/framed it as the larger balloon on the left balances the one higher and on the right. The focus is good, and you have used the available lighting to your benefit, I believe.
Like someone below mentioned, these colors beg to scream. Maybe if you could boost the saturation, ever so slightly, to make them really stand out, it would really be effective. Nevertheless, this is an awesome shot, and any balloon enthusiast would probably enjoy having it as a print.
Good work, and best to you in future challenges.

| A bit topically 'strained', which is a shame, coz it's otherwise a fun shot with good lighting and composition. The range of blue in the smaller balloon is a little feast! |

The topic was "Home Sweet Home". I fail to see the connection. Sorry.
Nice photo though. |

| though I think an argument could be made that this is a shot showing the place you call home, I can't really see it from the picture, and can't in good conscious agree that this is a right interpretation even with the most liberal of definitions! Great shot though, I like the composition with one balloon near and cut off and the other in the sky. Nicely done. |

| Nice depth of field. I might have lightened it slightly overall. Just my opinion. |

| A nice balance in the photo, however slightly left heavy. The baloon in the distance is perfectly framed in the sky thats showing. |

| Simple and effective. Nice designs on balloons. Could do with perhaps a little more saturation. 8 |
