Challenge: Rule of Thirds (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Kodak DX4530
Location: Forest Park, St. Louis, MO
Date: Sep 17, 2005
Aperture: f4.8
ISO: 120
Shutter: 1/350
Galleries: Sky, Transportation
Date Uploaded: Sep 17, 2005

Taken at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. I used my add-on 2x telephoto lense. Quite a few turned out pretty good I thought, but this was best representation of the rule of thirds. Hope it breaks my current top score of a 5.4. Camera was set at +1 exposure control to compensate for the darkness of the add-on. Auto levels and contrast in PS.

Meets the challenge criteria well.
A pretty photo, with the blue sky so vibrant, and the baloon in such sharp contrast.

Critique: Overexposed. I wish the top right side of the ballon wasn't washed out. A solid attempt.

Would have rated it higher, but you lost the detail in the upper left highlight on the baloon.

HEE HEE - great title. I wish the light to the upper left were not so harsh. I like the vivid blue sky and the nice coloration of the balloon.

I like, in fact, I like a lot! although there is a fault that I can't get past, it looks like you exposed for the shadows(lower right side fo the balloon) I think you should have exposed for the highlights(upper left side of the balloon) that would take care of the blown detail.
