 Balloon festival in NJ. This was taken at 8 pm. It was difficult to keep it from being a little noisy. Couldn't use flash. Had to handhold because they were directly overhead. Only cropped the bottom portion because it contained a little sky.

Hi from the Critique Club --

Side Note: I was going to try and go to a hot air balloon race in the early morning last week but when I got up (at the crack of dawn -- *yawn*) the weather was all crummy. DANG! I'm glad you had better luck.

Overall this is a great photo. Detail and subject are both excellent, and I really enjoy the angle from which this was shot.

My only comment, really, would be that it's kind of dark. I know that you were in the shadows, but a lot of the basket's detail is lost, unfortunately.

Congratulations on a great photo. I'm sure you have lots of fun captures from the balloon festival.

The colours in the balloon seem a little pale, and I would not have cropped the bottom of the basket myself.

Nice perspective, good focus 7 exposure, pleasing tones. Could possibly benefit from just a bit more contrast, and just maybe a hint more saturation... no, contrast is enough.

Neat shot. I would like it better if the faces and the bottom of the basket weren't so dark. Good job

perfect composition. Great fill. The lines really make it too.
