Asimo is the robot mascot of Honda, which sponsors some hot air balloon events. There was a competition on this weekend - the 20 or so balloon pilots had to drop some ribbons on a target. Before that happened, though, three elementary school children were sent aloft in the blue balloon, and the Asimo balloon was inflated to wave them off (and deflated soon after).

I so want to ride in a balloon...

This is a funky balloon... but you might have tried to include more than just the balloon in your photo.

Cool balloon! I wish the sky had cooperated for you, as I think this would really pop with a nice blue sky behind it.

Your composition and sharpness are good but the flat lighting and dull sky take the wow out of what should be a colorful exciting photo.

like the composition of the photo, having the second balloon in the background works well here. I do think that the colours seem a little musted due to the dullness of the sky. And maybe im knit picking but i would have maybe loned out the marks on the robot. otherwise good photo.
